Cowboy Rides Away Songtext
von Gillian Welch

Last call was an hour ago
So I′m drinking up and going home
And I'm counting you a no-show
So what can I say?

I ought to be leaving town
Start walking with my head turned down
I can′t afford to hang around for one more day


I'm waiting on a used-to-be
I should be flying free
Saint Chris is waving me to ride away

And I ought to be leaving town
Start walking with my head turned down
And I can't afford to hang around for one more day

And I don′t even wanna stay
Mm, and everybody knows that the cowboy rides away
