Well, I'm a lone ole cowboy from a southern part of state
And I wake up with the sun and the wind on my face
My lady lost the love, well, I found the hate
I'm a lone ole cowboy from a southern part of state
Well, I'm a hard-workin' man who's at his wits' end
There's a truck in the drive that belongs to another man
I've got a .45 and my finger on the band
I'm a hard-workin' man who's at his wits' end
I'm just a man with a past and a whole lot of pride
A heartbroke cowboy with pain deep inside
Take me away, take my very life
But I did what I did, and that man had to die
Well, I'm a stone-cold killer, and I'm movin' with the sun
If the West is where I'm free, then the West is where I'll run
I'm chasin' out the old, I'm totin' all the guns
I'm a stone-cold killer, and I'm movin' with the sun
And I'm a very wanted man, and they're movin' quicker now
And they tracked my scent, and they're sendin' all the hounds
But I'm a fighter 'til I'm dead, I'm still standin' ground
I'm a very wanted man, and they're movin' quicker now
I'm just a man with a past and a whole lot of pride
A heartbroke cowboy with pain deep inside
Take me away, take my very life
But I did what I did, and that man had to die
I'm a man with a gun shakin' in my hand
And they got me in a bind, and I'm runnin' out of land
Well, I hear the bullets fly as I make my final stand
I'm a man with a gun shakin' in my hand
Well, I'm just a man with a past, and a whole lot of pride
A heartbroke cowboy with pain deep inside
Take me away, take my very life
But I did what I did, and now I've gotta die
