[Intro] [strummed acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] Some they call him cowboy A rider on the range of life No one ever gets to know him At least not as well as they'd like He'll sit in the bar Watch the girls go by Every now and then One will try To follow that faraway look In his eyes [Chorus] He's a lonesome stranger A stranger to the women who love him They try to hold that lonesome stranger And find they're only grasping at the wind When it's time for love to start And she begs him to stay He'll pack up his heart And ride away 'Cause he's a lonesome stranger A lonesome stranger [Verse 2] His faithful dog he named Pronto You know it's his only friend The only thing that she left him The only one on which he can depend [Chorus] He's a lonesome stranger A stranger to the women who love him They try to hold that lonesome stranger And find they're only grasping at the wind When it's time for love to start And she begs him to stay He'll pack up his heart And ride away Ride away 'cause he's a lonesome stranger A stranger to the women who love him They try to hold that lonesome stranger And find they're only grasping at the wind When it's time for love to start And she begs him to stay He'll pack up his heart And ride away Ride away 'cause he's a lonesome stranger He's a lonesome stranger He's a lonesome stranger He's a lonesome stranger [Outro] He'll pack up his heart And ride away Ride away Ride away Ride away He's a lonesome stranger [guitar fades out]
