From a hip saloon in the Horse and Groom Cowboy rides alone now, whistling different tune 'Cause it's time to lose the whiskey, just step down off that stool The stallion riding, pistol-hiding, sentimental fool I won't ride into the sunset Behind me, only grief I won't say that I don't love her With a toothpick in my teeth I rode into this one-horse town When the horse had just three legs And now they're trying to rid this place Of the lowlifes and the dregs Dig that ground, and six feet down For everyone to see The saddle of that trusty steed and me ♪ This arthritic pain, in the pouring rain Whilst inside on the jukebox, Tammy sings again The next time that you see these boots They'll not be on my feet They'll be hanging from the slow coach To the local cemetery A true cowboy will lay his hat Which way the bottle spin Wake up next to doused out fire With bean juice down his chin I rode into this one-horse town When the horse had just three legs And now they're trying to rid this place Of the lowlifes and the dregs Dig that ground, and six feet down For everyone to see The saddle of that trusty steed and me (And me) ♪ From a hip saloon in the Horse and Groom Difficult to believe now, he was a cowboy in his day
