I've been stuck here in lonesome Texas
Nothin' to my name but a locket chain and a cotton dress
But I'm leavin' on a train to Nashville
And the lonesome desperado who left me in this mess
Oh, the west is getting way too wild
For this Appalachian Mountain child
No more rodeo riders
They just saddle up and ride out of town
His heart is just like the desert
Not a drop of love to be found in lonesome town
There ain't no place for a wildwood flower
In the state where the yellow rose is the object of desire
So I sit here and count the hours
'Til I get to the place that takes my soul just a little bit higher
That cowboy got the best of me
This girl is headed back to Tennessee
Oh oh, no more rodeo riders
They just saddle up and ride out of town
His heart is just like the desert
Not a drop of love to be found in lonesome town
Oh oh, no more rodeo riders
They just saddle up and ride out of town
His heart is just like the desert
Not a drop of love to be found in lonesome town
No more rodeo riders
They just saddle up and ride out of town
His heart is just like the desert
Not a drop of love to be found in lonesome town
Ooh, such a lonesome town
No more rodeo riders
No more rodeo riders
It's a lonesome town
No more rodeo riders riders
His heart is just like the desert
It's a lonesome town, oh
