Everybody wanna know where did all the cowboys go
Musta been the whiskey, maybe it was all the Marlboro´s
But it ain´t none of that, that laid em all low

Yeah, believe me I know

It was that midnight stare
That look in her eyes like a knife to the heart
It was that poison kiss
Cherry red lips, oh my God
Leanin´ up against the bar and I know
It wasn´t the smoke
It wasn´t the drink
And I got the proof
If you wanna know what killed the cowboy
A girl like you

Mmm the way she does it wasn´t just another rodeo
Lipstick kiss on the mirror and that was all she wrote

Yeah, it´s supposed to be me ridin´ away
But I´m dyin´ in the bed that she made

It was that midnight stare
That look in her eyes like a knife to the heart
It was that poison kiss
Cherry red lips, oh my God
Leanin´ up against the bar and I know
It wasn´t the smoke
It wasn´t the drink
And I got the proof
If you wanna know what killed the cowboy
A girl like you

Well she´s off in the sunset
She´s out on the run
Bet she´s halfway to Jackson by now

And I´m heart broke to hell
And I´m drowning the well
While I´m telling the bartender how

It was that midnight stare
That look in her eyes like a knife to the heart
It was that poison kiss
Cherry red lips, oh my God
Leanin´ up against the bar and I know
It wasn´t the smoke
It wasn´t the drink
And I got the proof
If you wanna know what killed the cowboy
A girl like you
