The Only One I Know (Cowboy Life) Songtext

von Cody Johnson

Another day Jay wakes me up
To a hotel lobby coffee cup
That dirty old white pickup truck with a trailer hooked up by the den
And she's mine
Last night's bugs on the windshield
Fast food trash on the dashmill
Speeding ticket and a doctor bill from a gash I got from a show go in Casper
Summer of last year
Maybe next year
Ohhhhh
And the ride and the fall
One day I might win 'em all
Just some broken hearts and some broken bones
And a hell of a lot of being alone
But I ride and I run
Where I hang my hat is home
This cowboy life might kill me
But it's the only one I know
Saul's farm is breaking up
And now she'd call to say she'd had enough
Of my little white lies
Little white lines
And somebody that you could never be with
I look back on that fork in the road that I took to chase that bottle of Gold
And wonder if what I held was worth trading away
Though I know
All I know is the ride and the fall
One day might win 'em all
Just some broken hearts and some broken bones and a hell of a lot of being alone
But I ride and I run
Where I hang my hat is home
This cowboy life might kill me
But it's the only one I know
Yeahhhh it will kill me before it ever lets me go
It will kill me but it's the only love I know
And I'm glad it doesn't (?)
So I just smile and wear my hat down
Wear my hat down
And I ride and I fall
One day might win 'em all
Just some broken hearts and some broken bones
And a hell of a whole lot of being alone
But I ride and I run
Where I hang my hat is home
This cowboy life might kill me
But it's the only one I know
Yeah this cowboy life might kill me
But it's the only one I know
