Well I once was a cowboy, I used to run wild

In a rodeo wrangled and rambled in style

But I'm too old for horses too old for the show

I'm too young for heaven now where should I go

Where should I go, where should I go, I'm too young for heaven, now where should I go?

I once had a true love and I made her my wife

And I sweared that I'd love her most all of my life

But the cold of the winter and the winds laid her low

She's gone on before me now where should I go?

Where should I go, oh where should I go? She's gone on before me now where should I go?

Well I never was a drunkard but this I can say

The taste of the whiskey gets better each day.

The bartender scowls, man your drinking to slow

They close in ten minutes now where should I go?

Where should I go, oh where should I go? They close in ten minutes now where should I go?

So it's out on the street with the stars burning bright

And nothing but my memories to share with the night.

Oh I once was a cowboy, I used to run wild.

In a rodeo wrangled and rambled in style.

But I'm too old for horses too old for the show

I'm too young for heaven now where should I go.

Where should I go, oh where should I go?

I'm too young for heaven now where should I go?
