Cowboy Killers

[Verse 1]
She wondered if those cigarettes were worth the time
She wished she had the man that she adored right by her side
Years went by like shootin' stars, you think you'll live forever
Burnin' time just like cigarettes, losing breath and feelin' weathered
And feelin' weathered

[Verse 2]
Sometimes he drank and smoked just to cover up the pain
Saw things as a boy that a boy should nevеr see
This world was like a powder keg, his lifе was like a dream
But when life was too much, he'd say, "At least you still have me"

[Chorus]
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time

[Verse 3]
Smokin' cigarettes, drinkin' coffee on the porch
Left behind his grandkids and the girl that he adored
His life was full of splendor but he cut it way too short
Died at sixty-five, smokin' cigarettes out on the porch

[Chorus]
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time

[Bridge]
She wished she had him back as she speaks with teary eyes
Tellin' me to quit those cigarettes, my girl wants me by her side
My girl wants me by her side

[Chorus]
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time

[Verse 4]
Sometimes he falls short of breath
Can't say he loves her before he rests
But she knows he loves her so
Those cowboy killers made him go

[Chorus]
Cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Cowboy killers weren't worth the time
Those cowboy killers weren't worth the time
