Candle for a Cowboy Songtext
von Tim McGraw

There was no denying the fire in his eyes
It was more than Pueblo whiskey
It was more than a lonely night
Two hundred miles from home
Perfectly alone

There were no apologies in his pocket
It was right there on his hand
A golden wedding band
Their hearts began to pound
Oh, but he stood his ground

She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she′s so alone
He was a man of his word
It was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said, "No"


She said, "Is there nothing I can do to please you?"
Then he said, "You make love and sound so easy
And it′s hard to turn away
And even harder to stay and either way I go
Oh, it's gonna be a long ride home"

She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she's so alone
He was a man of his word
It was one she′d never heard
He was the only man who ever said, "No, no, no, no"

And as he walked out the door
She loved him all the more

She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she′s still alone
He was a man of his word
It was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said...
He was the only man who ever said, "No"
