A Cowboy Needs A Cigarette

Well, a cowboy needs a cigarette Like a dog needs a bone Howlin' at the moon Searchin' for his home Stayin' out till the break of day With nowhere left to roam Yeah, a cowboy needs a cigarette Like a dog needs a bone Lost out in the darkness Helpless and afraid I was livin' in my pity I thought I had it made Well, it only takes a moment To throw it all away And I'm one more bad decision From livin' my last day Well, a poet needs a tragedy Like a magician needs a trick Saw some lady right in half And pretend that it's magic Hope nobody realized It's embellished quite a bit Yeah, a poet needs a tragedy Like a magician needs a trick I'm beggin' for forgiveness I'm sayin' pretty please Oh Lord, don't you hear me I'm down on my knees Well, I just want these shackles taken off of me Dear Lord, make the devil Turn loose and set me free Dear Lord, make the devil Turn loose and set me free From dusk until dawn Flick off Flick on From the birds and the bees And the fish and the trees The skies and the seas And the dogs and the fleas It's all me It's all me It's all me
