Broken Cowboy |
| It’s been a long dark dirty road |
| And pocket full of gold |
| And I’ve been out here now |
| All on my own |
| Well it’s real quiet here |
| Just the way I like it here |
| There’s no one to bother me |
| Except… |
| In 1955, born into Wadena’s pride |
| I laid my head on that |
| Milligan creek bed |
| When I was a young man |
| I helped build these land |
| I laid down these rails as a CPR man |
| Thought I’d live forever |
| With my heart in my pocket |
| Oh, my gun by my side |
| And my feelings in a locket |
| Well, that was a cold year in 77 |
| But I married my wife |
| We had 2 kids |
| I gave her a daughter |
| She gave me a son |
| And we rode those damn horses til we had none |
| Fists still like flyin' |
| Doing things for dyin' |
| Oh I should have put that old gun away |
| But I, I am me, a broken cowboy |
| And I don’t feel right no more |
| 'Cause I am a broken cowboy |
| Livin' life in the fast lane |
| Racing cars and robbing trains |
| I thought I had it all |
| Then one day I got the call |
| A father’s worst dream |
| My son went down and I |
| The colours deceive me |
| As I see grey |
| Oh you’re cutting me down with those |
| Cold words you’re saying |
| Then you called me brother |
| But this can’t be so 'cause you slander my name |
| Anywhere the wind will blow |
| But I, I am me, a broken cowboy |
| And I don’t feel right no more |
| 'Cause I am a broken cowboy |
| It’s been a long dark dirty road |
| But a pocket full of gold |
| And I’ve been out here now |
| All on my own |
| Well it’s real quiet here |
| Just the way I like it here |
| There’s no one to bother me |
| Except that old taunting tree |
