Lyrics

I'm a Black-hearted Cowboy sittin' all alone
With no horse to ride and nowhere to roam
The moon sits high and the whiskey has run dry
I'm wonderin' what the hell I'm gonna do with my life

When I was a boy my daddy beat me down
He said 'Son you better learn to pick yourself up off the ground'
Whiskey on his breath and the Devil in his eye
Momma in the corner tryin' not to cry

Black-hearted Cowboy
I'm just lookin' for love
But every time the mornin comes
It all turns to dust
Black-hearted Cowboy

Well it takes a lot of doin' to make a boy cold
But that's what happens when you've got no one to hold
Ya now I'm tough like a broken glass shard
Hard and jagged and shattered and scarred

Black-hearted Cowboy
I'm just lookin' for love
But every time the mornin comes
It all turns to dust
Black-hearted Cowboy

I'm a Black-hearted Cowboy sittin' all alone
With no horse to ride and nowhere to roam
The moon sits high and the whiskey runnin dry
I'm wonderin what the hell I'm gonna do with my life

Black-hearted Cowboy
I'm just lookin' for love
But every time the mornin comes
It all turns to dust
Black-hearted Cowboy

I love this song

Fantastic song!!! Great lyric, wonderful prosody, and the sparse arrangement with the light acoustic and pedal steel parts "talking" works perfectly!! Masterfully done!! Vocal is incredible!! Hits on all cylinders!!

I love the singers voice although I felt like it should of been a man singing. Very pretty vocals and Lyrics. I could see it being used in a Western movie. Good Job.

Pretty good song all in all. Great guitar playing.

Very nice lyrics and love the vocalist tone sounds like Adele

The instrumentation, arrangement and quality of the recording are great. The voice is quite lovely. Even though this is not the type of song one ever hears any more, it would certainly be useful and fit perfectly in a movie, I would think.

This is a spot-on Killer Country song!! Love the lyrics, the Female vocal is terrific, the arrangement is incredible, great steel! I've heard this tune before, but the second listen is even Better!! Wowza!! Excellent job, what more can I say!!! Let's get this tune to the Radio, so a songwriter and make some BUCKS!!!

A quality tune with a catchy hook in the chorus, the vocals have a nice tone and sound like they are telling a good story

I've already heard and rated this song 5*. This is genuinely a masterpiece. Instrumentation, lyrics, vocal, they're all outstanding.

Here's a song about a cowboy with a sad past. The abuse account really touches the heart. Excellently told story, tear-jerking ballad. My favorite rhyme: shard, scarred (that whole line is GREAT!) Very effective word pictures. Memorable hook. Plaintive voice. Nice instrumentation. Mix is right on target.
