The Last Cowboy

And behold a Cowboy came into town, dirty and worn

He had Black eyes, long hair and lines that cut deep into his frown

He had the right hand of the devil strapped tightly to his side

And you could tell fear abandoned this outlaw in a previous life



Why, looking but never seeing

Why, searching but never finding

Why, for the kiss to bring his

cold dead heart back to life



I am (I am searching for you)

Waiting (I am coming)

First light (I am coming for you)

Last stand

I am (I am searching for you)

Falling (I am coming)

Come and (I am coming for you)

Catch me if you can



He had the story of whiskey on his breath and death in his eyes

You never heard him say a word

but the pistol shot straight through the lies

Looking for the new world going from dead town to town

but his compass is cracked and north is six feet underground



Why, looking but never seeing

Why, searching but never finding

Why, for the kiss to bring his

cold dead heart back to life



I am (I am searching for you)

Waiting (I am coming)

First light (I am coming for you)

Last stand

I am (I am searching for you)

Falling (I am coming)

Come and (I am coming for you)

Catch me if you can



I towed the line for you

I towed the line for you

I towed the line for you

I towed the line for you



I am (I am searching for you)

Waiting (I am coming)

First light (I am coming for you)

Last stand

I am (I am searching for you)

Falling (I am coming)

Come and (I am coming for you)

Catch me if you can



I am (I am searching for you)

Waiting (I am coming)

First light (I am coming for you)

Last stand

I am (I am searching for you)

Falling (I am coming)

Come and (I am coming for you)

Catch me if you can



If you ever cross a shadow in a wasted void

You tell him I'm here waiting for the last cowboy
