Riding for a Fall

[Verse 1]
Last night you told her you could never hold her
Cause a cowboy's just got to be free
Her heart was breaking yours was aching
But you saddled up and followed your dream

[Verse 2]
Coffee on your campfire wind through the barbed wire
You huddle close to the flames
Though she's far behind you the night wind reminds you
It just keeps on whispering her name

[Chorus]
You can make a run for the border, try to hide up the hole in the wall
But don't you know your arms are aching to hold her
And cowboy even though you're riding tall
You're riding for a fall

[Verse 3]
Midnight, the moon's up, hands around your tin cup
The frost settles in on the sage
The night's getting colder, well man you're getting older
Tonight you're feeling your age

[Verse 4]
But why don't you turn back, just saddle up and backtrack
You know you'll never find a love quite like hers, you tell me
On a cold lonesome evening, what the hell good's your freedom
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs

[Chorus]
You can make a run for the border, try to hide up the hole in the wall
But don't you know your arms are aching to hold her
And cowboy even though you're riding tall
You're riding for a fall
Cowboy you're riding for a fall
