Lord things have changed since we first met
We been down a long road that's filled with regret
It's hard to forget and even harder to forgive
I'm torn between love and what I need to live
Darlin', I wish I could be more than I am
Just and old cowboy and almost a broken man
But everything I love I lose

Bulls and broncs, broken bones and booze
Seemed to me the only way that I know
I've hit bottom baby girl, there's nowhere else to go
It's hard to see right when all you've done is wrong
Hard to hang on when all you got is gone

This cowboy life gave me a heart of stone
This cowboy life tore up our home
This cowboy life is all I've ever known
This cowboy life has left me all alone

(Never thought it would happen like this)
(Never thought it was you I'd miss)
(Came around and touched my soul)
(I put all my plans on hold)
(Everything is fallin' down)
(Thought you would have come around)
(Can't you see what's goin' on?)
(It's so hard to hang on)

When I start to fall asleep
I think of how it used to be
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're everything I've ever know
I think about you all the time
Don't you know that I'd give my life
To have you standin' next to me
Right here, by my side

(Never thought it happened like this)
(Never thought it was you I'd miss)
(Came around and touched my soul)
(I put all my plans on hold)
(Everything is fallin' down)
(Thought you would have come around)
(Can't you see what's goin' on?)
(It's so hard to hang on)

Where did we go wrong?
What did we do right?
Tell me it's alright to push our pride aside
Life without you is what I thought It would be
When your lying there with him, do ya ever wish it was me?
Can you forgive me for everything I did and didn't do?
Understand this way of life is all I ever knew
I was raised to be tough, keep my feelings inside
Never to back down, all ya have is ya pride
I know what it's takes to cover the whole acre
But being a one woman man was never part of my plan
Life without love is just another sad song
Doin' all that I can but it's hard to hang on

All we have in life is love but you never even gave enough
So now I'm standing on my own
Don't really care if you ever come home

(Never thought it would happen like this)
(Never thought it was you I'd miss)
(Came around and touched my soul)
(I put all my plans on hold)
(Everything is fallin' down)
(Thought you would have come around)
(Can't you see what's goin' on?)
(It's so hard to hang on)

(You will never hang on)
(Oh-oh-ho)
(Mm-hm-mh)
