lyrics
Dusty Old Cowboy
I went to the corner and I asked for the way
A stranger said to me “It;s gonna rain ‘fore the day ends”
Well all of a sudden out in the street
Pitchforks and hailstones come falling on me
chorus:
Pack it away
And call it a day
This dusty old cowboy is heading home for the day
I found me a lady
Her face soft and white
Hair all a golden like the stars in the night
I reached out to touch her and sing her a song
In one silent moment she smiled and she’s gone
chorus:
Pack it away
And call it a day
This dusty old cowboy is heading home for the day
I wake with the sunrise and get out of bed
I ain’t sure when I’m dying but I ain’t dead yet
I count all my blessings and keep a straight head
And should my Lord call me home I’d gladly be lead
chorus:
Pack it away
And call it a day
This dusty old cowboy is heading home for the day
