lyrics

Ride Away Cowboy by Violet Helm

Just as I had walked along this road before you came,
I sat right here and I listened there and I waited on your name.
You never expected me to remember quite this long
How you walked into my life and the next day you were gone.

Well there's a part of me that just wants you to be free.
So go along and walk alone and don't come cry to me.
I don't quite understand how long it takes to heal.
So I'll give it another round our love was never real.

Ride away cowboy there's nothin' for you here.
Now go along cowboy, it's better without you dear.
Yeah I'm better without you dear.
I'm better without you dear.

I know they say when you've had a country boy you can't go back.
Now that I know that they were right, I'm missin' what I had.
No matter how hard I tried to reason with myself,
I live to learn and I'll learn to live.
I'll find me someone else.

Ride away cowboy there's nothin' for you here.
Now go along cowboy, it's better without you dear.
Yeah I'm better without you dear.
I'm better without you dear.

Can't wait to see the day when I'm free from all this pain.
You said you loved me more than life,
And everything would be alright.
And all those plans that we had made,
Well now you're gone and they'll remain.
Well did you know I could steep so low,
When I told you to hit the road?

Ride away cowboy there's nothin' for you here.
Now go along cowboy, it's better without you dear.
Now ride away cowboy there's nothin' for you here.
Now go along cowboy, it's better without you dear.
Yeah I'm better without you dear.
I'm better without you dear.
