Candle for a Cowboy Lyrics & Tabs by Darrell Scott
Candle for a Cowboy
guitar chords lyrics
THERE WAS NO DENYING THE FIRE IN HIS EYES
IT WAS MORE THAN PUEBLO WHISKEY
IT WAS MORE THAN A LONELY NIGHT
TWO HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME
PERFECTLY ALONE
HE HAD NO APOLOGIES IN HIS POCKET
IT WAS RIGHT THERE ON HIS HAND
A GOLDEN WEDDING BAND
WHEN HEARTS BEGAN TO POUND
HE STOOD HIS GROUND
SHE LIGHTS A CANDLE FOR A COWBOY
AND WONDERS WHY SHE’S SO ALONE
HE WAS A MAN OF HIS WORD
IT WAS ONE SHE’D NEVER HEARD
HE WAS THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER SAID, NO
HE WAS A MAN OF HIS WORD
IT WAS ONE SHE’D NEVER HEARD
HE WAS THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER SAID, NO
SHE SAID, “IS THERE NOTHING I CAN DO TO PLEASE YOU?”
HE SAID, “GIRL, YOU MAKE LOVE SOUND SO EASY
AND IT’S HARD TO TURN AWAY
BUT IT’S HARDER TO STAY
AND EITHER WAY I GO,
OH IT’S GONNA BE A LONG RIDE HOME”
SHE LIGHTS A CANDLE FOR A COWBOY
AND WONDERS WHY SHES SO ALONE
HE WAS A MAN OF HIS WORD
IT WAS ONE SHE’D NEVER HEARD
HE WAS THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER SAID, NO NO NO
AND AS HE WALKED OUT THE DOOR
SHE LOVED HIM ALL THE MORE
SHE LIGHTS A CANDLE FOR A COWBOY
AND WONDERS WHY SHE’S STILL ALONE, (STILL ALONE)
HE WAS A MAN OF HIS WORD
IT WAS ONE SHE’D NEVER HEARD
HE WAS THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER SAID
OH, HE WAS THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER SAID, NO
