Lonesome Cowboy

Here I sit with my head held down
my mind is weak, my thoughts are spinning around
I still wonder why you left me alone

Here I come on my steel horse
behind emptiness, ahead the nowhere road
don't understand your decision, you fell for his idle talk

When will be the day of your return?
when will you be coming back?
when will be the time of gold again?
Oh lord won't you turn, lord won't you turn the clock back.

I feel like some lonesome cowboy
a long way from home, nowhere to go
knowing well that nobody will be waiting tonight

Where are you my shiny star?
I need you so bad but you're so far away
I wonder why you put me in misery

When will be the day of your return?
when will you be coming back?
when will be the time of gold again?
Oh lord won't you turn, lord won't you turn the clock back.

Lonesome cowboy, got nobody anymore
Lonesome cowboy, at the mercy of alcohol
Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy
Oh lord won't you turn, lord won't you turn, lord won't you turn the clock back.
