Kentucky Headhunters, The - Cowboy Best Lyrics






Well, I'm doin' my cowboy best
To ride off in the sunset
But without your love by my side
This cowboy just can't ride
You taught me the ways of love
You showed me, tender dove
How to hold you, how to hold you
And I held you

But not close enough - not near enough
You became my lonesome dove
And I'll love you - yes, I'll love you
Forever

And I'm doin' my cowboy best
To ride off in the sunset
But without your love by my side
This cowboy just can't ride

I told you to hold on tight
You just laughed and closed your eyes
Said, "We'll ride on. Yeah, we'll ride on
Together"

Then, you rode away - so far away
Well, in my heart you'll always stay
And I'll love you - yes, I'll love you
Forever

Sometimes I wonder
Where your wheels are rollin'
And if you ever miss the times
You'll know which way to ride

And I'm doin' my cowboy best
To ride off in the sunset
But without your love by my side
This cowboy just can't ride

Yeah, without your love by my side
This cowboy just can't ride

Let it ride

    One of the best roots bands ever

  44. G.... A....

    I'm an old 61 yr old English football fan that just happens to love country music. I was in a band around 15 yrs ago most of our material was stuff I'd wrote but threw in a couple of Kentucky head hunters and the odd Dwight yoakam song.we had lots of fun
    We tried to get on the road around the south island of new Zealand. Big fucking fail.due to my manager/music mentor lying his arse off..he ripped me off along side my then fiancee. They both let me down destroyed my confidence and I've never tried to start another band again.but when I go busking I always include this song in my repertoire. It's such a good arse kicking southern rocker

  45. G.... R....

    I remember watching KH videos in college on Nashville Network/CMT in the early 90's .. Good stuff.. but now you have to pay EXTRA $$ to the cable company for CMT .. WTF

  46. C.... T....

    still one of my favorites..

  47. J.... M....

    Just some cats who were ahead of their time. Boy it is good.

  48. D.... B....

    One of the best country/southern rock bands ever. Sad it only lasted a little while. Imagine all the great music we would of had had they stayed together all these yrs. Time sure flies I was 19 n still wet behind the ears when this song came out.

    D.... B....

    They are still together! The only one missing is the lead singer who became a minister.

  49. R.... D....
