Winter cowboys lookin' for a bed.
Winter cowboys lookin' for a bed.
Six long months on the dusty plain,
Too much sun, too much rain,
It's the kind of love you can't explain.
Winter cowboys lookin' for a bed,
Lookin' for a bed.
You hardly get a chance to smell a woman's grace.
Such are the ways of the wild and open space.
And the work gets harder every year,
The work gets harder every year,
The work gets harder every year.
Winter cowboys lookin' for a ride.
Winter cowboys lookin' for a ride.
Thumb stuck out, wishin' that
They were bucklin' on their chaps,
Chompin' at the bit to get back.
Winter cowboys lookin' for a ride,
Lookin' for a ride,
Lookin' for a ride.
