Lyrics The Last Sunset - Chris Ledoux

The Last Sunset

Cowboy, you’re like a Mustang driftin' with the wind
Riding clear of fences that might close you in
Your wild, restless spirit keeps you searchin' for higher ground
You don’t get close to brandin' fires, you’ll never be tied down
Oh, last night the lady, she took you by surprise
And threw a loop around your heart when she looked into your eyes
Branded by the tender touch of her soft gentle hand
Now this hard ridin' cowboy, this wild driftin' cowboy
Will never ride into the sunset again
The night wind through the canyon makes such a mournful sound
Freedom, your old partner, well, he just let you down
It’s snowin' on the mountain, the trail to drifted in
You try to fight the feelin' but cowboy you’ll never win
But last night the lady, she took you by surprise
And threw a loop around your heart when she looked into your eyes
Branded by the tender touch of her soft gentle hand
Now this hard ridin' cowboy, this wild driftin' cowboy
Will never ride into the sunset again
And this hard ridin' cowboy, this wild driftin' cowboy
He’ll never ride into the sunset again
