lyrics

V1
I'm living in a world I don't belong in
All fenced in with way too little space 
Lost in every damn direction that my heart has ever gone in
Like I was born 100 years too late
Ive heard em say I'm crazy, and maybe that's the truth
But I don't care, and I ain't got a damn thing left to lose

Chorus
I wish I could saddle up and leave it all
Just ride the range with Gus McRae and Woodrow Call
I'd be leaving Lonesome Dove, pair of six guns loaded up
And a rifle in the scabbard on my saddle
Let the danger and the weather and Comanche be the death of me
Go down shootin' in a smoke filled blaze of glory
Fade away like some forgotten cowboy story

V2
My heart feels like it stopped a couple bullets
My pride thinks I'm the butt of every joke 
My right hand's on my pistol praying for the chance to pull it
My left is reaching for another smoke
I don't know where I'm headed, but I can't wait to go
How the hell can this old mustang move so slow

Chorus
I wish I could saddle up and leave it all
Just ride the range with Gus McRae and Woodrow Call
I'd be leaving Lonesome Dove, pair of six guns loaded up
And a rifle in the scabbard on my saddle
Let the danger and the weather and Comanche be the death of me
Go down shootin' in a smoke filled blaze of glory
Fade away like some forgotten cowboy story

Bridge
Let 'em lay me down
Build a plain old wooden cross and drive it in the ground

Chorus
I wish I could saddle up and leave it all
Just ride the range with Gus McRae and Woodrow Call
I'd be leaving Lonesome Dove, pair of six guns loaded up
And a rifle in the scabbard on my saddle
Let the danger and the weather and Comanche be the death of me
Go down shootin' in a smoke filled blaze of glory
Fade away like some forgotten cowboy story
