Hard Headed Cowboy Lyrics

The day that the hard headed cowboy rode out of town
He left his love sleepin', slipped out without making a sound
He liked where he'd been, but the winds were callin' his name
The hard headed cowboy won't let his heart get in his way
What little he packed kept his back to the sun for a while
Suddenly he felt a little more free every mile
A rose and a note when she woke up was all that she found
The day that the hard headed cowboy rode out of town

Into the night he rolls along
Tellin' his stories, singin' his song
That feeling he gets, it never lasts
'Cause all that he wants is what he don't have

Days turned to weeks and he thought he had left her behind
That raven haired woman was still weighin' there on his mind
No chance of forgetting her, he's sure regretting it now
The day that the hard headed cowboy rode out of town

So into the night he rolls along
Thinking of her, singin' his song
Come morning light, he'll have her back
'Cause all that he wants is all that he had

The day that the hard headed cowboy rode back to town
He searched everywhere, she was nowhere to be found
Heard she found another man and she had taken his name
The hard headed cowboy had let his heart get in his way
There's no chance of forgetting her, he's sure regretting it now
The day that the hard headed cowboy rode out of town
