Well It’s true he’d always been a traveler
The kind a woman never tries to rope
Maybe he never really loved me
Truth is I didn’t want to know

Oh cause that just would have made it harder
To find a smile when it was time to let him go

Maybe he wants to be a cowboy
Lord i know how much he loves to roam
I can’t say that I really blame him
Someday even cowboys go home

And I saved all my love letters
If I ever sent them he’d see
That’s the hardest that I’ve ever
Tried not to let somebody love me

Maybe if he knew all my secrets
Maybe he could write another song
Sure it might be a sad story
But baby, with the ending
That I wanted all along

Cause i saved all my pennies for the well
It was just my wishes that were wrong

Maybe he wants to be a cowboy
Lord i know how much he loves to roam
I can’t say that I really blame him
Someday even cowboys go home

And I saved all my love letters
If I ever sent them he’d see
That’s the hardest that I’ve ever
Tried not to let somebody love me
