I'm a lovesick drifting cowboy
On a highway leading nowhere
If I reach my destination
There'll be heartache when I get there
Mama I know you tried
But there ain't no way I'm gonna leave this world alive
Mama it's too late to cry
Don't bother laying flowers when I die
To hell with being careful
I've been running with the devil
I'll keep living like a rebel till this road runs out
Like a dust cloud on a dirt road
Where I go, trouble follows
Till they hang me from the gallows I ain't ever gonna settle down
I'm a lovesick drifting cowboy
On a highway leading nowhere
If I reach my destination
There'll be heartache when I get there
I'm a lovesick drifting cowboy
On a highway leading nowhere
If I reach my destination
There'll be heartache when I get there
{Break}
I'm a lovesick drifting cowboy
On a highway leading nowhere
If I reach my destination
There'll be heartache when I get there
I'm a lovesick drifting cowboy
On a highway leading nowhere
If I reach my destination
There'll be heartache when I get there
