Sad cowboy songs

(Dean)
Dean
I heard a famous songwriter say, "I just write sad cowboy songs" and I thought, that's what I do.
I sing my sad cowboy songs to myself
and make myself cry
I bring those old tunes down from the shelf
and ask myself why?
there’s nobody there to hear me at night
while I howl at the moon
so I ‘ll just sing my tune
and make mysel cry

I dreamed that some day soon
I’d sing to a crowd
They’d yell and sing my songs
with me aloud
I realized now these things
were all in my head
I’m alone once again
and I make myself cry

I write these sad cowboy songs
and strum my guitar
hoping that someone would hear
from near or from far
Maybe I’d touch some heart
alone in the night
like a ship out at sea
that would be me

I sing my sad cowboy songs to myself
and strum my guitar
hoping that someone would hear
from near or from far
There’s nobody there to hear me
alone in the night
so I ‘ll just sing my song and make myself cry
