Nobody hears if I laugh or I cry Nobody cares if I live or I die No matter where I ramble, no matter where I roam I'm a poor lonesome cowboy, a long way from home I'll cry my eyes red, as I lay in my bed My life is so empty, I wish I was dead Get more comfort from a bottle than any girl I've ever known I'm a poor lonesome cowboy and I live alone I'm always sad and lonely, no matter where I go Nobody wants me, my heart's full of woe Beef and gravy when I'm hungry, tequila when I'm dry A pretty girl to hold me and love me when I cry Hell is my future, poverty all I claim Haven't got a woman to my unlucky name I'm made of flesh and blood, I ain't made of stone I'm a poor lonesome cowboy that nobody knows
