Some Need A Cowboy For Just One Night…

It’s been awhile since this Cowboy’s been inspired to write a song and this little tune brought out the best in me. This was written in about 2 minutes but took about 9 hours to record all tracks and video edit. After recording this I realized this is my own version “Roll Me Away” (Bob Seger) with a Cowboy / Outlaw twist….Enjoy ;)

She came to me            
A sheep ..in wolves clothes  
her saddle on fire   
like a wild desert rose.   
She said,  “Cowboy   
Wont you ride?”    
She cried, “Cowboy please…just one ride?”

Now Cowboys Sleep.. the days   
and they ride… out the nights  
Running from the law   
Always ready for a fight   
He said, “Flower child   
What gives you the right?”  
“You’re not the sheriff in town  
But aren’t you his wife? ”  
  BREAK….to rhythm build  
She said, “Cowboy   
Don’t cha put up a fight   
I need a cowboy    
Desperately tonight“….fade……building 
He said, “Desert Rose    
You better hold on tight   
Cause my Stallion ya see he’s ready to ride.”  
  CHORUS
They rode off into the night  
Forgetting about just what’s right
They rode on all thru the night  
Yes they rode out in the moonlight
She cried Ride Cowboy ride  
Some need a Cowboy   
For just one night.   

The Colt came to rest  
At a well made of stone   
It was there… at her request  
The Cowboy watered… her rose …..fade  

She cried Ride Cowboy ride  
Some need a Cowboy   
For just one night.   
They rode all thru the night  
Forgetting about just what’s right 
They rode on all thru the night  
Yes they rode on till sunlight  
She cried  Ride Cowboy ride  
Yes Ride on MY Cowboy tonight……  
She cried  Ride Cowboy ride  
Some need a Cowboy   
For just one night.   
(fade) Yeah She gave.. to me.. one wild… desert rose
