Lyrics
He met her in a cafe on the highway
Said he'd come in for a bite
It's a long road to Cheyenne
Said he'd followed the rodeo down every byway
And after half a cup he had her in his hand
He told her of the danger and the glory
He related all the same old worn out lies
But he could tell that she was spellbound by his story
'Cause there wasn't any doubt
When he looked into her eyes
And he's a freelance desperado
Stealin' hearts along the way
Headed out to Colorado
Lookin' for some heart to borrow
Another drugstore cowboy, hell to pay
He left her in the morning, cold and crying
Just a crumpled little note,
Sayin' thanks for a good time
She remembered now her mama's words of warning
Beware the drugstore cowboys,
'Cause they ain't worth a dime
And he's a freelance desperado
Stealin' hearts along the way
Headed out to Colorado
Lookin' for some heart to borrow
Another drugstore cowboy, hell to pay
Yeah, there's gonna be hell to pay
