I'm just a lonesome L.A. Cowboy - hangin'out hangin'on

                G                     D                                    C                    D

To your window ledge - calling your name   From midnight - until dawn.

I've been - smoking dope, snorting coke,   Tryin'to write a song

                           G                             D                       G      

Forgetting everything I know,   'til the next line comes along

C                        G                              D                       C                    G

Forgetting everything I know,   'til the next night comes along.

Well there's so many pretty people in the city

Iswear, some of them are girls.

I meet ém down at Barny's beanery

With their platform heals and speed curles.

I buy ém drinks, we smoke our hopes

Try tomake it one more night.

But when I'm left all alone at last

I feel like I'll die from fright.

I'm just a lonesome L.A. Cowboy ...

Well I know, Kris and Rita, and mighty more

are meeten'at the "Troubadour"

For get it on with the joy of Cocaine

while the crowd cries out for more.

Round 6 O'Clock this morning

I'll be gettin'kinda slow.

When all the shows are over Honey, tell me

Where you think I'll go?

I'm just a lonesome L.A. Cowboy ...
