Lyrics Riding For A Fall

Last night you told her, you could never hold her
'Cause a cowboy's just got to be free
Her heart was breakin', yours was achin'
But you saddled up to follow your dreams
Coffee on your campfire, wind through the barbed wire
You huddle close to the flames
Though she's far behind you, the night wind reminds you
It just keeps whispering her name

(Chorus)
You can make a run for the border
Try to hide at the hole in the wall
But don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall
You're riding for a fall

Midnight the moon's up, hands around your tin cup
The frost settles in on the sage
The night's gettin' colder, well, man you're gettin' older
Tonight you're feelin' your age
Why don't you turn back, just saddle up and backtrack
You know you'll never find a love quite like hers
And tell me, on a cold lonesome evenin', what the hell good's your freedom
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs?

(Repeat Chorus)

Cowboy you're riding for a fall
