I'm just a cowboy,
I'm better left alone
In a bar or under stars
In the desert wind
So leave me where you find me
That's where I'm happy
Cause I don't need
To fall in love again
If you're looking for a midnight rodeo
I'll hold you close but girl you gotta know
My heart's wrapped in barbed wire
It's best you don't get caught in it
My mind stays calloused
From years of trying to fix it
I'll ride away, you'll cuss my name
When that sun comes back around
Like a cloud of dust, I was born to settle down
In a ghost town
I keep a cuss jar in the console
'case I see her around with him
And I get pissed
And I scream shit
At least I'll earn a buck
It ain't that I'm broken, it's more that I'm worn in
From the only one I tried to love
She was the queen of diamonds in "Desperado"
So even when I hold a heart I choose to fold
My heart's wrapped in barbed wire
It's best you don't get caught in it
My mind stays calloused
From years of trying to fix it
I'll ride away, you'll cuss my name
When that sun comes back around
Like a cloud of dust, I was born to settle down
In a ghost town
I ain't no Hollywood cowboy chasin' that red sun
I'm just another broke boy whose a little short on love
My heart's wrapped in barbed wire
It's best you don't get caught in it
My mind stays calloused
From years of trying to fix it
I'll ride away, you'll cuss my name
When that sun comes back around
Like a cloud of dust, I was born to settle down
In a ghost town
