Standard (EADGBE)
Well there's a lonesome feeling that comes over me
When I hear that highway moan.
I know that's where the good lord meant for me to be
A dreamin' drifter far from home
I roam from town to town out on the interstate
I'm always only passing through
I need my womans love but she's so far away
I'm singing the cowboy blues
Chorus
Stranger dont'ya know I'd like to be your friend
If I had the time to stay
But im a tumbleweed a blowlin' in the wind
I got to catch another stage
I strap on my guitar just like a 45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shootin' for the heart of lookin in your eyes
I'm singing the cowboy blues
Solo Blusey Beat
Sometimes I think about settlein' down
Fade off into a memory
But every night when I step out to face the crowd
I know this is the life for me
I strap on my guitar just like a 45
I pray each night my aim is true
I'm shootin' for the heart of lookin in your eyes
I'm singing the cowboy blues
I'm singing the cowboy blues
I'm singing / the / cowboy / blues
