Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar]

[Verse 1]
Out on your own, riding southward out of town
You hear the whispered voices but there's no one else around
There's something in the air, it's getting hard to see
The sunlight slowly fades away, the birds no longer sing

[Verse 2]
Never been a cowboy but I've always heard the tales
About the lonesome rider on a pale horse on the trail
Always rides alone and never stays too long
No one ever knows his name, he's here and then he's gone
Just the echoes off the mountain side
Your only friend as you slowly ride

[Chorus]
[electric bass enters]
Ride slowly, ride
Only shadows by your side
Ride slowly, ride
Another cowboy on a ride

[Verse 3]
At the table holding aces and eights
You catch a glimpse of something but you realize too late
Always knew it would end this way
Some smoke, a flash of light
On an Arizona night

[Chorus]
Ride slowly, ride
Only shadows by your side
Ride slowly, ride
Another cowboy on a ride

[Bridge]
[acoustic guitar solo]

[Verse 4]
There's no fortune and there's no fame
Another lonely cowboy gone without a name
They always love the cowboy, ride slowly, ride
Only shadows by your side
Ride cowboy, ride

[Chorus]
Ride cowboy, ride
Only shadows by your side
Ride cowboy, ride
Another cowboy on a ride

[Outro]
[acoustic guitar fades]
Just another cowboy song
