Johnny Cadena

Seems the world just ain't pretty
Every time I want to go steady
I wind up sitting in the bar drinking my tears

My friend says I move too fast
The world is big find love that lasts
But when I ask him where
All he can say is “Cheers!”

Don Quixote’s got nothing on me
I think everyone's too blind to see
My bleeding heart spilt
All over the ground
They would have called me Romeo
in the time of Shakespeare
Don't you know that
the only thing they call me round here
is lonely

Right about when I've quenched my thirst
I get that feeling deep down in the hurt
That tells me to go dance
and try to forget

But wouldn't you know
in the middle of the dance floor
I see a face I never seen before
And then I wake up in someone else's bed

Don Quixote’s got nothing on me
I think everyone's too blind to see
My bleeding heart spilt
All over the ground
They would have called me Romeo in the time of Shakespeare
Don't you know that the only thing they call me round here is lonely

Then we get to talking and it feels so right
I'm about ready to propose tonight
They shake their head and
show me to the door

Now I'm standing outside with hardly any clothes on
Thinking about how they done me wrong
And I wind up back at that bar same as before

Don Quixote’s got nothing on me
I think everyone's too blind to see
My bleeding heart spilt
All over the ground
They would have called me Romeo
In the time of Shakespeare
Don't you know that
the only thing they call me round here is lonely

The only thing they call me round here is lonely

All I got
Are these gold nickel strings
Two of them steel
With gold tunings
The loneliest cowboy
You’ve ever seen
Singing my songs
About my fantasies

Rolling hills
I’m on horseback
Chasing an outlaw
In the rain
One hand on my six gun
One on the reins
Right when I catch ‘em
I’ll go get my pay
Go find a girl
Who loves cowboys like me

I’ll never return
To the world that I knew
I’m standing on concrete but
There’s mud on my boots
I’m the furthest away
From any known place
The only place for
A cowboy to stay

Rolling hills
I’m on horseback
Chasing an outlaw
In the rain
One hand on my six gun
One on the reins
Right when I catch ‘em
I’ll go get my pay
Go find a girl
Who loves cowboys like me

When I die
And my heart breaks in two
I’ll come to terms
With this world that I knew
I’ll say goodbye
And hope that on high
Has my favorite place
Up there in the sky

Rolling hills
I’m on horseback
Chasing an outlaw
In the rain
One hand on my six gun
One on the reins
Right when I catch ‘em
I’ll go get my pay
Go find a girl
Who loves cowboys like me
