 Now he  don't expect her to stay  true to him
 and she  never says that she will
 but he's  got a first love that  just might kill him
 and she  knows he's hooked on the thrill
 So she'll  wait and worry then she'll  wait some more
 for the fever  that drives him to just  run its course
 she talks  to that picture they took  their last night together
 Says you can't  be a cowboy  forever,  no you can't  be a cowboy  forever.
 Sometimes  he calls her he swears  that the ground hurts, more  than it did
 yesterday.
 But she  knows his voice, and he still  sounds determined, to do  whatever it
 takes.
 So she'll  wait and worry then she'll  wait some more, for the fever  that
 drives him to just  run its course
 the whiskey  he drinks said some things  last spring that upset  her.
 But he can't  be a cowboy  forever,  no you can't  be a cowboy  forever.
 Then one  night he shows up, and he says  what's for dinner
 with that  cocky grin on his face.
 the way  that she smiled and the way  that she held him
 told  him he wasn't too late.
 As she  closed her eyes, and he  slipped that ring on her finger.
 Said you can't  be a cowboy  forever,
 No you can't  be a cowboy  forever,
 No you can't  be a cowboy  forever.

No you ca[D]n't be a cow[A]boy for[G]ever,
No you ca[D]n't be a cow[A]boy for[Em]ever.
