Riding For A Fall

Last night you told her

that you could never hold her,

cause a cowboy's just got to be free



Her heart was breaking

and yours was aching,

but you saddled up and followed your dreams



Coffee on your campfire

wind through the barbed wire

your huddle close to the flame



Though she's far behind you

the night wind reminds you

it just keeps on whispering her name



You can make a run for the border

try to hide at the hole in the wall

but don't you know your arms are aching to hold her

and cowboy even though your riding tall

your riding for a fall



Midnight the moon's up

hands around your tin cup.

frost settles in on the sage



the nights gettin colder

oh man you're getting older

tonight you're feeling your age



why don't you turn back

just saddle up and back track

you know you'll never find a love quite like hers



And on a cold lonesome evening

what the hell good's your freedom

don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs



You can make a run for the border

try to hide at the hole in the wall

don't ya know your arms are aching to hold her

and cowboy even though your riding tall

you're riding for a fall



Cowboy you're riding for a fall
