The Last Cowboy

And behold, a cowboy came into town, dirty and worn
He had black eyes, long hair and lines that cut deep into his frown
He had the right hand of the devil strapped tightly to his side
And you could tell fear abandoned this outlaw in a previous life

(Why?)
Looking but never seeing
(Why?)
Searching but never finding
(Why?)
For the kiss to bring
His Cold dead heart back to life

I am (I'm searching for you)
Waiting (I am coming)
First light (I'm coming for you)
Last stand
I am (I'm searching for you)
Falling (I am coming)
Come and (I'm coming for you)
Catch me if you can

He had the story of whisky on his breath and death in his eyes
You never heard him say a word, but his pistol shot straight through the lies
Looking for the new world, going from dead town to town
But his compass is cracked and north is six feet underground

(Why?)
Looking but never seeing
(Why?)
Searching but never finding
(Why?)
For the kiss to bring
His cold dead heart back to life

I am (I'm searching for you)
Waiting (I am coming)
First light (I'm coming for you)
Last stand
I am (I'm searching for you)
Falling (I am coming)
Come and (I'm coming for you)
Catch me if you can

I towed the line for you
(I towed the line for you)
I towed the line for you
(I towed the line for you)

I am (I'm searching for you)
Waiting (I am coming)
First light (I'm coming for you)
Last stand
I am (I'm searching for you)
Falling (I am coming)
Come and (I'm coming for you)
Catch me if you can
I am (I'm searching for you)
Waiting (I am coming)
First light (I'm coming for you)
Last stand
I am (I'm searching for you)
Falling (I am coming)
Come and (I'm coming for you)
Catch me if you can

If you ever cross a shadow in a wasted void
You tell him I'm here waiting...
For the last cowboy
