"Adios Cowboy" lyrics

She was acting distant
A little bit cold when we talked on the phone
So I drove all night, but that West Texas sunrise beat me home
I stepped into the kitchen
That's when I saw the note she wrote, that said

"Adios Cowboy, hope you take care of yourself"
She left her ring by the wine glass
And not much of anything else

No red dress to come back and get
No "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No, make it all up to you kiss
That's as goodbye, as it gets

She said, "Adios, Cowboy"

Guess you could say, I made a few mistakes
Hell, more than a little
'Cause a woman like you, could use more than some part-timin' man
That's why she left me with

"Adios Cowboy, hope you take care of yourself"
She left her ring by the wine glass
And not much of anything else

No red dress to come back and get
No, "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No, make it all up to you kiss
That's as goodbye, as it gets

Oh, whoa
She said, "Adios Cowboy"
Whoa-oh

Used to mean something so different
When I'd hit the road, and she'd say

"Adios Cowboy" and "Hope you take care of yourself"
She left her ring by the wine glass
And not much of anything else

No red dress to come back and get
No, "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No, make it all up to you kiss
That's as goodbye, as it gets
She said "Adios Cowboy"
