Broken Down Cowboy

If I was a gambling man

Never would'a let you play your hand

With a broken down cowboy like me

'Cause you never can trust your luck

He's bad news in a pickup truck

That broken down cowboy like me

He's played every card he's got

Had a good hand but he messed it up

With that bum-around, tumble-down heart

Saddlebags full of pain

Carries 'em around

Just like a middle name

A losin' streak waitin' for dark

Oh, he'll string you along

Sing you a lonesome song

But he'll wind up alone

Again

No matter how hard you try

Never going to let you get inside

That tumble-down broken down heart

It's a tough riding rodeo

Mean horse threw him

Long time ago

A broken down cowboy like me

But the way I feel about you

Wouldn't want that horse

To hurt you too

A broken down cowboy like me

Oh, he'll string you along

Sing you a lonesome song

But he'll wind up alone

Again

If I was a gambling man

Never would'a let you play that hand

With a broken down cowboy like me
