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
