Baby, I never loved you
But I damn sure meant to
The hobble on my heart
Never been that strong

I'm loyal to the leaving
Rambling drifter dreamin'
The stompin' and the screamin'
When a crowd turn on

Now truth be told
I'm better left alone
Cowboys like
To sing them lonely songs
With a two-step dance
Fall and don't forget
To let go of the rope
I tangled up again
Here we go again

And now, I'll throw me a new loop
There'd be a few that slip through
But hey now, what do you do?
You don't dally 'em all

Oh, I like 'em better
Cold as a day in December
Like the one out in Denver
Never answering my call

Now, truth be told
I'm better left alone
Cowboys like
To sing them lonely songs
With a two-step dance
Fall and don't forget
To let go of the rope
I tangled up again

And never hangin'
'Round too long
And it's hard to love a man
Who's always gone

Now, truth be told
I'm better left alone
Cowboys like
To sing them lonely songs
With a two-step dance
Fall and don't forget
To let go of the rope
I tangled up again

Now, let go of the rope
I tangled up again
Here we go again
