Well, it's true he'd always been a traveler The kind a woman never tries to rope Maybe he never really loved me The truth is, I didn't want to know Oh cuz that just would have made it harder to find a smile when it was time to let him go Maybe he wants to be cowboy Lord I know how much he loves to roam I can't say that I really blame him, oh Someday even cowboys go home And I saved all my love letters if I ever sent them he'd see That's the hardest that I ever tried not to let somebody love me Maybe if he knew all my secrets Maybe he could write another song Sure it might be a sad story But maybe with the ending that I wanted all along Cuz I've saved all my pennies for the well It was just my wishes that were wrong Maybe he wants to be cowboy Lord I know how much he loves to roam I can't say that I really blame him, oh Someday even cowboys go home And I saved all my love letters if I ever sent them he'd see That's the hardest that I ever tried not to let somebody love me
