Chris De Burgh - Lonesome Cowboy Lyrics
There was a lonesome cowboy, who rode his horse all day,At night he slept in the moonlight, till he heard that midnightTrain...And then that lonesome cowboy, looked up at the stars in the sky,I will leave my land and my horses, on that midnight train I willRide,To the city, far across the plains,To that city, on that midnight train, here it comes,Choo choo choo... on that midnight trainAnd then that lonesome cowboy, stepped into a bar,A pretty girl slid over nice and easy, boy your money wont go far.She took him outside to an alley, he got dragged into a fight,And a bullet sent him dying, and he cursed that moonless nightIn that city, far across the plains,In that city, he could hear that midnight train, down the line;Choo choo choo... he could hear that midnight trainAnd now that lonesome cowboy is lain beneath the clay,His horses theyre still waiting, for he is gone away;Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of the hillAll you cowboys, take it easy, theres no grass there at all.In that city, far across the plains,In that city, youd better miss that midnight train, here it comesChoo choo choo... youd better miss that midnight trainChoo choo choo... that train is coming for you.
