I never knew what lonely was,
Till after meeting you.
I never knew a cloudless sky,
With such a leaden hue.

I never shed the bitter tears,
That I am shedding now...
I'd cancel all these feelings, dear-
If only I knew how.

I'm reaping what I sowed so long,
The harvest's coming due.
Too long I've dealt in falsehoods-
Now they all are coming true.

I left some women crying,
When I followed rodeo.
Not knowing I was lying-
Till I'd load my truck and go.

"I love you's" came so easy-
When life was just a game.
Now I'm on the receiving end-
And that's a crying shame.

I'm too old now for riding-
And a bit too young to die...
And I can't live without you,
But I guess I'll have to try.

Ah such a sad write cowboy..
Oh, but how I love your writing...
Please tell us more..you have a great way of telling your stories.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
