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
