Lyrics
We never talked about leaving
I don?t know why
We never talked about leaving
I don?t know why
So when I awoke alone this morning
It was a big surprise...
Told you I was a cowboy
Like it on my own
Told you I was a cowboy
Make it on my own
Didn?t mean you?re supposed to go?leave me alone...
Now, I?m out here in the mountains
Thinking about truth
I?m out here in the mountains
Thinking about truth
Got all the freedom I ever wanted
But I ain?t got you....
This prairie?s pretty lonely
The cold winds blow
This prairie?s pretty lonely
The cold winds blow
Be careful what you wish for
Cuz you just don?t know...
