Baby, I never loved you But I damn sure meant to The hobble on my heart Never been that strong I'm loyal to the leaving Rambling drifter dreamin' The stompin' and the screamin' When a crowd turn on Now truth be told I'm better left alone Cowboys like to sing them lonely songs With a two-step dance Fall and don't forget To let go of the rope I tangled up again Here we go again And now, I'll throw me a new loop There'd be a few that slip through But hey now, what do you do? You don't dally 'em all Oh, I like them better Cold as a day in December Like the one out in Denver Never answering my call Now, truth be told I'm better left alone Cowboys like to sing them lonely songs With a two-step dance Fall and don't forget To let go of the rope I tangled up again And never hangin' 'round too long And it's hard to love a man who's always gone Now, truth be told I'm better left alone Cowboys like to sing them lonely songs With a two-step dance Fall and don't forget To let go of the rope I tangled up again Now, let go of the rope I tangled up again Here we go again
