lyrics

well I get up every morning at the break of dawn
play an old record put some coffee on
but the music only serves to remind me
of all the days I've left behind me
one more cup and another smoke
its one more day on the range alone
I don't sleep to good at night
If you were here, then maybe I might
but it seems the only cowgirls I know
they run alone

everyday's new but its gettin' old
and these ranch hands need something to hold
I get sore when each days done
and I can't help thinking you're the only one
but it's one more day far from home
seems I'm takin' this road alone
I won't back down from a fight
If you were here then maybe I might
but it seems the only cowgirls I know
they run alone

I get drunk when each day's through
cause everything just reminds me of you
I sure hope she treats you well
cause everyday without you's another in hell
and I can't take another minute alone
once you're gone you can never go home
I can't take one more night
if you were here then maybe I might
but it seems the only cowgirls I know
they run alone
