Tune Down Step Intro:
Well we rode into town like a couple of fools
High on the mescal, bent low on my mule
I's just trying to find some place
Where a man might get some rest
Wash the tears from my eyes and the blood from my vest
One lonesome saddle, one long and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy, pining [a] woman unkind
Walked into the saloon on my feet that felt like lead
Cold steel been pounding into the back of my head
I raise up my glass to the quick and to the dead
Singing yeah a heavy, and a bottle of bread
One lonesome saddle, one long and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy, pining [a] woman unkind
As the glass it left my lips, I felt her hand upon me
Her smile it was so warm, but her eyes were so cold
She says to me now, won't you please walk beside me
I just shut my mouth, and I did as I was told
One lonesome saddle, one long and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy, pining [a] woman
[a] cold hearted woman, pining [a] woman unkind
