Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Well, it's true he'd always been a traveler
The kind a woman never tries to rope
Maybe he never really loved me
The truth is, I didn't want to know
Oh 'cause that just would have made it harder
To find a smile when it was time to let him go
Maybe he wants to be cowboy
Lord I know how much he loves to roam
And I can't say that I really blame him, oh
But someday even cowboys go home
And I saved all my love letters
If I ever sent them he'd see
That's the hardest that I've ever
Tried not to let somebody love me
Maybe if he knew all my secrets
Maybe he could write another song
And sure it might be a sad story
But maybe with the ending that I wanted all along
'Cause I saved all my pennies for the well
It was just my wishes that were wrong
Maybe he wants to be cowboy
Lord I know how much he loves to roam
And I can't say that I really blame him, oh
But someday even cowboys go home
And I saved all my love letters
If I ever sent them he'd see
That's the hardest that I've ever
Tried not to let somebody love me
Maybe I'm just wasting time
Living life out all alone
But one thing I know
Hearts don't break on their own
And that's why we keep wandering down this road
Maybe he wants to be cowboy
Lord I know how much he loves to roam
And I can't say that I really blame him, oh
But someday even cowboys go home
And I saved all my love letters
If I ever sent them he'd see
That's the hardest that I've ever
Tried not to let somebody love me, oh, hey
