Lonesome L.A. Cowboy

Just a lonesome L.A. cowboy, hangin' out, hangin' on

To your window ledge, callin' your name from midnight until dawn

Smokin' dope, snortin' coke, tryin' to write a song

Forgettin' everything I know 'til the next line comes along

Forgettin' everything I know 'til the next line comes along

Well, there's so many pretty people in the city

I swear some of them are girls

I'll meet 'em down at Barney's Beanery

With their platform shoes and spit curls

I'll buy 'em drinks, we smoke our hopes

And try to make it one more night

But when I'm left all alone at last

I'd feel like I'll die from fright

Just a lonesome L.A. cowboy, hangin' out, hangin' on

To your window ledge, callin' your name from midnight until dawn

Smokin' dope, snortin' coke, tryin' to write a song

Forgettin' everything I know 'til the next line comes along

Forgettin' everything I know 'til the next line comes along

Well, I know Kris and Rita, and Marty Mull

Are meeting at my father's place tonight

We'll get it on with the old "new writers"

While the crowd cries out, "That's all right"

'Round six o'clock this morning

Well, I'll be gettin' kinda slow

When all the shows are over

Honey, tell me, where do you think I go? Yeah

I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy, hangin' out, hangin' on

To your window ledge, callin' your name from midnight until dawn

Smokin' dope, snortin' coke, and tryin' to write a song

Forgettin' everything I know 'til the next line comes along

Forgettin' everything I know 'til the next line comes along

Thank you

Chamomile, what?

Chamomile, who?

Well, if nobody's going to be able to answer it right now

We'll just have to tell you, go right ahead, buddy, start the tune

We'll just show them what we're talking about
