Reason to Ride

I know lonesome, like the devil knows the sand

I know heartache, like the back of my hand

I know leaving, like a river knows to run

I know goodbye, like a bullet knows a gun

I wanna love you, give you the best of me

I wanna tell you, I ain't ever going to leave

And that setting sun won't fall on me this time

I'm just a cowboy, looking for a reason to ride

I know that smile, and right where it leads

I know my heart, and right where it bleeds

And the last thing I want, is to see you get hurt

I keep that saddle on so nobody gets burned.

I wanna love you, give you the best of me

I wanna tell you, I ain't ever going to leave

And that setting sun won't fall on me this time

I'm just a cowboy, looking for a reason to ride

If someday I find a way to put the bullet back in the gun

And somehow i found out for the ribbon light to run

And sometime the desert finds a single drop of rain

Maybe I can change

And I can love you

Give you the best of me

And tell you I ain't ever going to leave

And that setting sun won't fall on me this time

No that setting sun won't fall on me this time

I'm just a cowboy, looking for a reason to ride
