Hey I was playing guitar in a west Texas bar
The first time I saw her walk in
She lit up the room like an orchid in bloom
While she was dancing with him
As I strummed on the string I had visions of things
Like loving the whole night away
Lord I wanted her so I just let my mind go
And I imagined that I heard her say
And she said cowboy carry me home
It's a long night and I’m all alone
We'll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home
Yeah night after night in that smokey dim light
I was aching to see her once more
Every song that I played was her own serenade
Of a heart of this poor troubadour
Then I looked up one night to a beautiful sight
And there was my dream come true
I was playing my best taking every request
And she said darling I've got one for you
And she said cowboy carry me home
It’s a long night and I'm all alone
We'll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home
Cowboy carry me home
It's a long night and I'm all alone
We'll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home
Cowboy carry me home
It's a long night and I'm all alone
We’ll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home
The first time I saw her walk in
She lit up the room like an orchid in bloom
While she was dancing with him
As I strummed on the string I had visions of things
Like loving the whole night away
Lord I wanted her so I just let my mind go
And I imagined that I heard her say
And she said cowboy carry me home
It's a long night and I’m all alone
We'll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home
Yeah night after night in that smokey dim light
I was aching to see her once more
Every song that I played was her own serenade
Of a heart of this poor troubadour
Then I looked up one night to a beautiful sight
And there was my dream come true
I was playing my best taking every request
And she said darling I've got one for you
And she said cowboy carry me home
It’s a long night and I'm all alone
We'll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home
Cowboy carry me home
It's a long night and I'm all alone
We'll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home
Cowboy carry me home
It's a long night and I'm all alone
We’ll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home
