Lyrics
She was acting distant
She appeared distant.
A little bit cold when we talked on the phone
During our phone conversation, she was a bit cold.
So I drove all night, but that West Texas sunrise lead me home
I drove all night to return home guided by the sunrise in West Texas.
I stepped into the kitchen
Upon arriving home, I entered the kitchen.
That's when I saw the note she wrote, that said
I discovered a note she wrote.
"Adios Cowboy" and "hope you take care of yourself"
The note said, "Goodbye Cowboy" and expressed hope for self-care.
She left her ring by the wine glass
She left her ring next to a wine glass.
And not much of anything else
Not much else was left behind.
No red dress to come back and get
No red dress to retrieve.
No, "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No promise to call upon reaching her friend's place.
No, make it all up 'til you kiss
No false assurances until a kiss.
That's as goodbye, as it gets
This is the final goodbye.
She said, "Adios, Cowboy"
She explicitly said, "Goodbye, Cowboy."
Guess you could say, I made a few mistakes
Acknowledges making mistakes, more than a few.
Hell, more than a little
Admits significant errors.
'Cause a woman like you, could use more than some part-time in my head
Realizes that a woman like her deserves more than part-time commitment.
That's why you left me with
Left with regrets.
"Adios Cowboy, hope you take care of yourself"
The note repeats the sentiment of saying goodbye and wishing self-care.
She left her ring by the wine glass
Similar to earlier, she left her ring near a wine glass.
And not much of anything else
Little else was left behind.
No red dress to come back and get
No specific item like a red dress left for retrieval.
No, "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No promise to call upon reaching her friend's place.
No, make it all up 'til you kiss
No false assurances until a kiss.
That's as goodbye, as it gets
This is the final goodbye.
Oh, whoa
(Musical interlude)
She said, "Adios Cowboy"
Repeats the explicit farewell, "Goodbye, Cowboy."
Whoa
(Musical interlude)
Used to mean something so different
Reflects on the changing meaning of "Adios Cowboy."
When I'd hit the road and she'd say
Recalls past times when hitting the road had a different impact.
"Adios Cowboy" and "hope you take care of yourself"
Repeats the farewell message and the wish for self-care.
She left her ring by the wine glass
Repeats the scene with the ring by the wine glass.
And not much of anything else
Similar to earlier, not much else was left behind.
No red dress to come back and get
No specific item like a red dress left for retrieval.
No, "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No promise to call upon reaching her friend's place.
No, make it all up 'til you kiss
No false assurances until a kiss.
That's as goodbye, as it gets
This is the final goodbye.
She said, "Adios Cowboy"
Reiterates the explicit farewell, "Goodbye, Cowboy."
"Adios Cowboy"
Repeats the farewell message.
She said, "Adios Cowboy"
Reiterates the explicit farewell, "Goodbye, Cowboy."
