This is a country song....




Cowboy Blues

Empty spaces fill endless plains.
Upon this ole horse of mine, that has no name.
My silhouette of solitude reflects my loneliness.
As quiet as a mountain sky.
It paints a picture of my tainted soul.

They say Cowboys don't cry, but you proved them wrong.
Thoughts of you, are a train running through my mind.
Loving you without you, just doesn't seem enough to
resolve these Cowboy Blues.

These rough hands miss your silk touch.
We've had our differences, it true.
We've had our share of hard times.
The one place I need you to be, is by my side.

A life sentence of loving you.
This here heart is tied down by Cowboy Blues.

These empty spaces reflect my inner emptiness.
The evening sky is closing in....
I tip my hat down to hide my tears.
Our home is filled with silence....
Brought on by the thought of years, without you.

Like a dove sitting by itself.
Waiting for only you, and no one else.
Clouds of love drift across my mind.
The dust of heartache weighs down on my soul.

A life sentence of loving you.
This here, heart is tied down by Cowboy Blues.
You hold the rope of your warm embrace.
Your smile had me with the first hello....


This heart is yours, it maybe as broken as my truck.
It is what it is, but it's yours.....my love.
I'm simply helpless without you....being here.
These tears are forever reaching out for you....

This ole Cowboy has the Blues.....
On bended knee, I apologize through these tears.
I'll man up to myself...just come home, back to me.

(if it matters... I kinda head this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coBwk8v9KPQ)
But yours stands on it's own... didn't mean to take away from it.

Music would def be great with the story, Painted a lonely picture

Ole Blue Eyes....nice.

Yes, in the video the Cowboy....rides off into the sunset, and you hear a single shot fired. He commits suicide....no just teasing....

Actually, I picture his girl standing on the horizon waiting on him....
