Cowboy Rides Away - Gillian Welch

Last call was an hour ago

Some drinking up and going home

I’m counting you a no-show

So what can I say?

I ought to be leaving town

Start walking with my head turned down

I can’t afford to hang around

For one more day

I’m waiting on a used-to-be

I should be flying free

Saint Chris is awaiting me

The rideaway

I ought to be leaving town

Start walking with my head turned down

I can’t afford to hang around

For one more day

I don’t even want to stay

And everybody knows that the cowboy rides away
