"Death Of A Cowboy" lyrics

Started as a picture on my dashboard
Never pictured what it'd turn into
I'd never given up
But I guess I'm giving up because of you
Something in me says I'm starting over
Something in me saying I ain't through

Once a mustang on the run
Tryna beat that setting sun
The highway calls for some but not for me
Once a bullet in a barrel
Straying from that straight and narrow
Now a whisper in the wind, boy, let it be
It's a heartbeat, it's a breath
It's a new life and the death of a cowboy

Now that I know I got you home waiting
Honey, how am I supposed to ride away?
I found my missing piece
So there ain't nothing left for me to chase
You're my resting place

Once a mustang on the run
Tryna beat that setting sun
The highway calls for some but not for me
Once a bullet in a barrel
Straying from that straight and narrow
Now a whisper in the wind, boy, let it be
It's a heartbeat, it's a breath
It's a new life and the death of a cowboy

It's a heartbeat, it's a breath
It's a new life and the death

Once a mustang on the run
Tryna beat that setting sun
The highway calls for some but not for me
Once a bullet in a barrel
Straying from that straight and narrow
Now a whisper in the wind, boy, let it be
It's a heartbeat, it's a breath
It's a new life and the death of a cowboy
