William Mowell - Cowboys Lost Soul

You might have thought the ghost cowboy was indestructible,

You could've though I was full of shit,

But someone ran off with this cowboy's heart,

And left it in a ditch


The phrase used heart for sale comes to mind

Its cheaper than the rest

A shadow is what's left behind

And I'll carry it to my death


Haunted by a place and time

It seems you set it free

Sold it for a mere dime

Yet left me with the fee


This heartache isn't real you see

Its a figment of a soul

Beating under an old oak tree

Never to be whole\n\nWilliam Mowell
