The Dead South - Broken Cowboy lyrics
[The Dead South - Broken Cowboy lyrics]
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
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
