Standard (EADGBE)

Well there's a lonesome feeling that comes over me

When I hear that highway moan.

I know that's where the good lord meant for me to be

A dreamin' drifter far from home

I roam from town to town out on the interstate

I'm always only passing through

I need my womans love but she's so far away

I'm singing the cowboy blues

Chorus

Stranger dont'ya know I'd like to be your friend

If I had the time to stay

But im a tumbleweed a blowlin' in the wind

I got to catch another stage

I strap on my guitar just like a 45

I pray each night my aim is true

I'm shootin' for the heart of lookin in your eyes

I'm singing the cowboy blues

Solo Blusey Beat

Sometimes I think about settlein' down

Fade off into a memory

But every night when I step out to face the crowd

I know this is the life for me

I strap on my guitar just like a 45

I pray each night my aim is true

I'm shootin' for the heart of lookin in your eyes

I'm singing the cowboy blues

I'm singing the cowboy blues

I'm singing / the / cowboy / blues
