These Cowboys Born Out Of Their Time Lyrics - One To The Heart, One To The Head - Gretchen Peters

He's a cowboy, he was raised in Ohio 

He got married and moved further west. 

Showed up on time for a few awful years 

And one night he got drunk and he left. 

Drove a truck for a while up in Fargo 

But he never got used to the smoke. 

He once tried to settle and get some ahead 

But he's still just as wild, just as broke. 

The range has been settled for years now. 

The old wranglers passed on with their kind. 

But every now and again you run into these men 

These cowboys born out of their time. 

For some change he'll remember your birthplace. 

Cause there's hardly a town he ain't been. 

And you can get up and leave any time that you please 

For that's one thing that he understands. 

He lives out his days now in Denver. 

His best friend is a bottle of wine. 

And you don't need to ask anything of his past. 

It's asleep in the back of his mind. 

And as the sun rises over the Rockies 

It's so strange that he don't even care. 

When it burns out and sets down in Kansas 

He takes the fences round Larimer Square.
