[Verse 1]
The cowboy's lady is crying tonight the cowboy's riding the range
Rambling running and chasing some strays cowboys don't ever change
I tried to hold him in the home corral but the grass looked greener outside
I'm going to sit here in front of this door I've loaded up my cowboy's .44
When the smoke clears there'll be a new brand on his hide
Cause this is my cowboy's last ride
[Chorus]
Oh oh I hate to see him go but I don't deserve all this crying
I I hate to see him die but this is my cowboy's last ride
The cowboy remembers the trails he once rode and he's back in the saddle tonight
But this time I'm letting those home fires burn out and I'm leaving when I blow out his light
Cause I still remember watering holes and places still open and wide
And I have decided he won't put me down a filly should be free for horsing around
And I will no longer be hobbled and tied this is my cowboy's last ride
[Chorus][x2]
