The Cowboy Rides Away Lyrics
I knew the stakes were high right from the start
When she dealt the cards, I dealt my heart
Now I just found a game that I can’t play
And this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinkin’ like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I’d done
It’s time to say goodbye to yesterday
And this is where the cowboy rides away
We’ve been in and out of love and in-between
And now we play the final showdown scene
And as the credits roll, a sad song starts to play
And this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinkin’ like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I’d done
Oh, the last goodbye’s the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away
Oh, the last goodbye’s the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away

Personally I love Brooks and Dunn’s version much better, Ronnie has such a distinctive voice. In my opinion no one is better. And damn Ronnie is great to look at as well.

Another awesome song sung.
There’s a “few” that can take a song and make their own and they just happen to be in the very “select few” that can do just that.
