[Verse 1]
I'm just a cowboy, I'm better left alone
In a bar or under stars in the desert wind
So leave me where you find me
That's where I'm happy
'Cause I don't need to fall in love again
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're looking for a midnight rodeo
I'll hold you close, but girl, you gotta know
[Chorus]
My heart's wrapped in barbed wire
It's best you don't get caught in it
And my mind stays calloused from years of trying to fix it
I'll ride away, you'll cuss my name
When that sun comes back around
Like a cloud of dust, I was born to settle down
In a ghost town
[Verse 2]
I keep a coast jar in the console 'case I see her round with him
And I get pissed and I scream shit, at least I'll earn a buck
It ain't that I'm broken, it's more that I'm running
From the only one I tried to love
[Pre-Chorus]
She was the queen of diamonds and desperado
So if I win the whole, the heart I choose to fold
[Chorus]
My heart's wrapped in barbed wire
It's best you don't get caught in it
And my mind stays calloused from years of trying to fix it
I'll ride away, you'll cuss my name
When that sun comes back around
Like a cloud of dust, I was born to settle down
In a ghost town
[Bridge]
I'm no Hollywood cowboy chasing that red sun
I'm just another broke boy, a little short on love
[Chorus]
My heart's wrapped in barbed wire
It's best you don't get caught in it
And my mind stays calloused from years of trying to fix it
I'll ride away, you'll cuss my name
When that sun comes back around
Like a cloud of dust, I was born to settle down
In a ghost town
