A Cowboy Knows How Songtext
von Flatland Cavalry

A telephone call
A pay phone in Dallas
Stumblin′ drunk
Fistful of wild flowers

Reckon I would've left too if I was you
′Cause looking back now, I loved you
The only way a cowboy knows how

Might as well find me a sunset and ride off in it
Find me a ghost town and disappear in it
Saddle some bar stool up until you're gone
Find me a jukebox heartbreak song
Play it over and over 'til the cows come home
Get back on that horse and get over you
The only way a cowboy knows how

If your heart was barbwire
Maybe I could mend it
If your heart was a wildfire
Baby, I′d tend it


Reckon I would′ve left too if I was you
'Cause looking back now, I loved you
The only way a cowboy knows how

Might as well find me a sunset and ride off in it
Find me a ghost town and disappear in it
Saddle some bar stool up until you′re gone
Find me a jukebox heartbreak song
Play it over and over 'til the cows come home
Get back on that horse and get over you
The only way a cowboy knows how

Might as well find me a sunset and ride off in it
Find me a ghost town and disappear in it
Saddle some bar stool up until you′re gone
Find me a jukebox heart break song
Play it over and over 'til the cows come home
Get back on that horse and get over you
The only way a cowboy
Oh, the only way a cowboy
The only way a cowboy knows how
