Old & In The Way Lonesome L.a. Cowboy
[Chorus]
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
Hangin' out and hangin' on
To your window ledge, calling your name
From midnight until dawn
I been smokin' dope, snortin' coke
Tryin' to write a song
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
[Verse 1]
There's so many pretty people in the city
And I swear, some of them are girls
I'll meet 'em down at barney's beanery
With their platform shoes and spit curls
I'll buy 'em drinks, we smoke our hopes
And try to makе it one more night
But when I'm lеft alone at last
I feel like I'll die from fright
[Chorus]
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
Hangin' out and hangin' on
To your window ledge, calling your name
From midnight until dawn
I been smokin' dope, snortin' coke
Tryin' to write a song
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
[Verse 2]
Well, I know Kris and Rita and Marty Mull
Are meeting at the Troubador
We'll get it on with the Joy of Cooking
While the crowd calls out for more
Around six o'clock this morning
I'll be gettin' kind of slow
When all the shows are over, honey
Tell me, where do you think I go?
[Chorus]
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
Hangin' out and hangin' on
To your window ledge, calling your name
From midnight until dawn
I been smokin' dope, snortin' coke
Tryin' to write a song
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
[Outro]
‘Til the next line comes along
