Sad Old Cowboy Lullaby

I was the last one to turn out the lights
To walk through the hallways of photos and fights
I was the last one to whisper goodnight
To sleeping dogs we left shaking in fright

Goodnight to the cowboy at home on the range
Goodnight to the working man at home in his trade
I was at home in the life that we made
But we're not a family anymore

There comes a time in every girl's life
When she finds the people who stay by her side
I had a good laugh at all of my strife
Cause the one thing I lost is what I thought was mine

Goodnight to the cowboy at home on the range
Goodnight to the working man at home in his trade
I was at home in the life that we made
But we're not a family anymore

Out of the tree that was bearing our names
I bet a seed will grow one of these days
On that holy mountain like the prophecy says
The wolf will lay down with the lamb
The child and adder be friends
Neither beginning nor end

Goodnight to the cowboy at home on the range
Goodnight to the working man at home in his trade
I was at home in the life that we made
But we're not a family anymore
We're not a family anymore
