Suicidal Cowboy

Oh yheaaaaaa

Been a happy man all my life
No, i have pretended
To be a happy man all my life

The cattle roam, unconcerned and free
While my own herd, scattered endlessly
Lost love and dreams, a bitter sting
This dusty trail, no solace it brings
The gun lies cold, beside my hand
A silent promise, across the land

This cliff's edge calls, a siren's plea
Release from pain, set my spirit free
The world below, a blurry haze
A final breath, in these dying days
A cowboy's end, beneath the sky
My weary soul, about to fly

Maybe heaven's a vast open plain
Where horses run wild
And there's no more pain
Maybe there's peace, beyond this despair
A gentle whisper, carried on the air

This cliff's edge calls, a siren's plea
Release from pain, set my spirit free
The world below, a blurry haze
A final breath, in these dying days
A cowboy's end, beneath the sky
My weary soul is about to fly

One last look, at the setting sun
My journey's end, my race is run
A cowboy's fall, a silent sigh
Beneath the stars, I'm ready to die

Dust devils dance 'cross the barren plains
Sun bleeds crimson, a fire in my veins
The rope is worn
The saddle creaks and sighs
A weary heart beneath these endless skies
My spirit's broke
My dreams all turned to dust
This life ain't worth the fightin'
Filled with disgust
The canyon calls, a silent, dark embrace
A final ride, a desolate space

This old horse knows
He feels the weight we bear
One last gallop, into the thin, cold air
The cliff's edge beckons, a freedom I crave
A tumble down, to a watery grave
No more sorrow, no more weary sighs
Just peace at last
Beneath these endless skies

I see her face, a ghost in the fading light
The woman I loved, lost in the endless night
My hand feels cold, my heart a frozen stone
The weight of loss, a burden I've known
The ranch is gone, the cattle scattered wide
My hope is gone, nowhere left to hide
The wind whispers tales of a life gone astray
A cowboy's lament, at the end of the day

This old horse knows
He feels the weight we bear
It's one last gallop, into the thin, cold air
The cliff's edge beckons, a freedom I crave
A tumble down, to a watery grave
No more sorrow, no more weary sighs
Just peace at last
Beneath these endless skies

He whinnies soft, a mournful, tender sound
My partner in pain, on hallowed ground
We face the abyss, a final, silent plea
For respite from the world, for eternity

This old horse knows
He feels the weight we bear
One last gallop, into the thin, cold air
The cliff's edge beckons, a freedom I crave
A tumble down, to a watery grave
No more sorrow, no more weary sighs
Just peace at last
Beneath these endless skies

The wind howls loud, a sorrowful cry
A cowboy's farewell, beneath the fading sky
A final breath, a fall into the night
A soul's release, bathed in pale moonlight
