Well I'm sittin down in San Antoine'

waitin' on the eight o'clock train

My woman left me here last night

things ain't been quite the same



I gotta get back to Dallas

and tie up a few loose ends

I'm gonna work a week

make a hundred dollars

ahhh hit the road again



So I don't want you to think

that you the first one

to leave me out here on my own

'cause this ain't gonna be

the first time

this ol' cowboy

spent the night alone



Well Honey I've been a fool

but a bigger fool

I can't remember when I've been

Just to open up my heart

and let you walk right in



But there's one thing in life

that ain't hard for me to do

and thats as soon as I kiss

the lips of another women

I'm gonna forget all about you



So I don't want you to think

you the first one

to leave me out here on my own

'cause this ain't gonna be

the first time

this ol' cowboy

spent the night alone



Ah if you wrote all

the womens' names

that I've know'd

and let me pick one out

I don't believe there be one

in the whole bunch

Ah I'd give a hoot about



So I don't want you to think

that you the first one

to leave this ol' boy out

here on his own

No it ain't gonna be

the first time

this ol' cowboy

spent the night alone



No it ain't gonna be

the first time

this ol' cowboy

spent the night alone
