Candle For A Cowboy Lyrics by Tim McGraw

McGraw: The Ultimate Collection

2016

[Verse 1]
There was no denying the fire in his eyes
It was more than pueblo whiskey
It was more than a lonely night
Two hundred miles from home, perfectly alone
[Verse 2]
He had no apologies in his pocket
It was right there on his hand
A golden wedding band
When hearts began to pound, oh, but he stood his ground
[Chorus]
She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she's so alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said, no
[Verse 3]
She said, "Is there nothing I can do to please you?"
And he said, "You make lovin' sound so easy
And it's hard to turn away and even harder to stay
And either way I go, oh, it's gonna be a long ride home"
[Chorus]
She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why shes so alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said, no, no, no, no
[Bridge]
And as he walked out the door
She loved him all the more
[Chorus]
She lights a candle for a cowboy
And wonders why she's still alone
He was a man of his word, it was one she'd never heard
He was the only man who ever said
He was the only man who ever said, no
