Hey Cowboy

And she said "Cowboy, why don't you write a song for me

You don't have to keep singing

That same sad song

About the one who done you wrong

Why don't you write about the one who set you free

Hey Cowboy, why don't you write a song for me?"

She was young and pretty

And half near as lonesome as me

She called me cowboy

And said I was lonesome and free

She said "hey Cowboy, why don't ya write a song for me"

She could tell there was something

Inside of me gone wrong

As she listened closely

And watched me sing my song

She said "hey Cowboy, you ain't the only one been done wrong"

She said "don't be scared now baby

I know you've been hurt before

By some pretty fool

Who couldn't hold you anymore

Don't worry baby, I know you get the urge to roam

You won't ever have to go alone

You can take me or I will stay

But I'll be here when you get home

I'll never run away

But hey hey

Hey cowboy why don't you write a song for me

You don't have to keep singing that same sad song

About the one that done ya wrong

Why don't you write about the one who set you free

Hey Cowboy, why don't you write a song for me

Hey Cowboy, write a song for me"
