I knew the stakes were high right from the start,
When she dealt the cards, I bet my heart.
Now I just found a game that I can't play,
And this is where the cowboy rides away.

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun;
Setting on the things I wish I'd done.
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday.
This is where the cowboy rides away.

We've been in and out of love, and in-between,
And now we play the final showdown scene.
And as the credits roll, a sad song starts to play:
This is where the cowboy rides away.

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun;
Setting on the things I wish I'd done.
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say:
This is where the cowboy rides away.

Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say:
This is where the cowboy rides away.
