When mama said baby be careful I didn't quite understand So I fell right into his charm and His brown eyes His smile and the hat in his hand When I said now mama Where did I go wrong He said that he loved me too She said for all of the reasons he's gone I promise not one of them's you Cuz just like it seemed Like it came out of no where He'll leave like a thief in the night There's always somebody else In the dust of a trail of his horse With a tear in her eye Honey, I don't know why Cowboys ride They ride like the wind They ride off in the sunset They ride just to ride cuz they can There ain't no kind of fences Or arms that can hold them They don't know how to stay Where they stand And just like it seemed Like it came out of no where He'll leave like a thief in the night There's always somebody else In the dust of a trail of his horse With a tear in her eye Honey, I don't know why Oh Cowboys ride Cuz just like it seemed Like it came out of no where He'll leave like a thief in the night There's always somebody else In the dust of a trail of his horse With a tear in her eye Honey, I don't know why Oh Cowboys ride I fell right into his charm and His brown eyes His smile and the hat in his hand End
