Cowboy Angel Lyrics

INTRO: C G C
Guitars and whiskey in a honky tonk somewhere
Cowboy angel said here's one about a girl with flowers in her hair
Wild flowers, asked the Knoxville boy, no the cowboy replied
A wild rose like those that grows along the road, a slow burnin' suicide
CHORUS:
Don't you cry for the cowboy angel, it's too late anyhow
He's too far gone, still ridin' on your tears can't help him now
Don't waste your love sweet Magdelene, it'll only slow him down
Don't you cry for the cowboy angel ridin' out to that sweet town
From Babylon to Joshua Tree, you could taste it in the air
That grevious wine of sympathy and a cross no man could bear
Are you goin', asked the Knoxville boy, hell yeah the cowboy replied
Then he blew his mind like a dandelion and rode off in the night
CHORUS:
Don't you cry for the cowboy angel, it's too late anyhow
He's too far gone, still ridin' on your tears can't help him now
Don't waste your love sweet Magdelene, it'll only slow him down
Don't you cry for the cowboy angel ridin' out to that sweet town
Don't you cry for the cowboy angel ridin' out to that sweet town
