Don't Come The Cowboy With Me Sonny Jim! Lyrics - All I Ever Wanted: The Anthology - Kirsty Maccoll

Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts 

Can make you feel nothing at all 

They'll never remember and they'll never mind 

If you're counting the cracks in the wall 

They're quick and they're greedy, they never feel guilty 

They don't know the meaning of hurt 

The boots just go back on, the socks that had stayed on 

The next time they see you, they treat you like dirt 

The next time they treat you like dirt 

Now don't come, the cowboy with me, Sonny Jim 

I know lots of those and you're not one of them 

There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in 

And you won't come, the cowboy with me 

Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart 

It's all I've got left to me now 

I fell out of favor with Heaven somewhere 

And I'm here for the hell of it now 

Some girls play cowboys and some boys play harder to get 

But they're got just the same 

They smile and say cheese, they're so eager to please 

But they'll never remember your name 

The names and the places all change 

But don't come, the cowboy with me, Sonny Jim 

I know lots of those and you're not one of them 

There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in 

And you won't come, the cowboy with me 

Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell? 

I didn't expect you to know me so well 

If I learned a lesson it's how to bounce back again 

Sometimes I bounce off the wall 

And sometimes my head hits the floor 

So don't come, the cowboy with me, Sonny Jim 

I know lots of those and you're not one of them 

There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in 

And you won't come, the cowboy, oh 

Don't come, the cowboy with me, Sonny Jim 

I know lots of those and you're not one of them 

There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in 

And you won't come, the cowboy with me
