CHORUS:
I'm riding in the desert and
i'm heading into nowhere
The sun is showing me the way
i'm riding alone
I'm looking for adventures cause
i left my girl in texas
I'm a stranger and i'm riding alone

My baby's on his way
and he's got nowhere to stay
and i wonder what his thinking
on his own

He's promised me his heart
and he says he really loves me
and i'll marry him as soon he's
coming home

(chorus)

I'm working as a waitress
the saloon is never empty
i got so many suitors all around

Although some are very handsome
They will never get my hand
because i'm waiting for my cow-
boy to come home
