Lyrics Erin McKeown

Erin McKeown

The Little Cowboy

I got the cocaine to keep me,

Cocaine to keep me home,

My best buckaroos to the west

Coast have gone.

I could've bought a ticket,

Could've bought a ticket but what

Would I have done

With no lines in my pocket and a

Nose for the setting sun

I found a new cowboy,

Found a new cowboy,

I have something to do,

A fresh bed of roses to keep me

Amused.

He rode from seattle, on the trail

From seattle,

I heard he's done hard time,

But he brings back

This bad girl

Some good boy

Hometown 'shine.

So sail away ladies,

Saddlesore maybe,

With a nose to the setting sun,

I'll be right behind you when the

Roses have had their run.

Me and my cowboy,

Me and my cowboy

Gonna ride til we ride no more,

'Til the six shooter draws and the

Cocaine becomes a chore.

So sail away ladies,

Saddlesore maybe,

With a nose to the setting sun,

I'll be right behind you when the

Roses have had their run.

Baby's got blue skies up ahead.
