This Ol' Cowboy Songtext
von The Marshall Tucker Band

Well, I′m sittin' down in San Anton′, waiting on an eight o'clock train
My woman left me here last night, things ain't been quite the same

I gotta get back to Dallas, and tie up a few loose ends
I′m gonna work a week, make a hundred dollars
Aw, and hit the road again

So, I don′t want you to think
That you're the first one to leave me out here on my own
′Cause this ain't gon′ be the first time this ol' cowboy spent the night alone


Well honey, I′ve been a fool, but a bigger fool
I can't remember when I've been
Just to open up my heart, and let you walk right in

But, there′s one thing in this life that ain′t hard for me to do
That's as soon as I kiss the lips of another woman, I′m gonna forget all about you

So, I don't want you to think
That you′re the first one to leave me out here on my own
'Cause this ain′t gon' be the first time, this ol' cowboy spent the night alone

Now, If you wrote all the woman′s names down I know, and let me pick one out
I don′t think there'd be one in the whole bunch
Aw, I′d give a hoot about


So, I don't want you to think
That you′re the first one to leave this ol' boy out here on his own
Though, it ain′t gon' be the first time this ol' cowboy spent the night alone
