Joe Purdy - Cowboy Song Lyrics
Pick me up softly, I don't know the shape that I'm inI dropped through the windows and down through the buildingsAnd up to the front door againThere was a gunfight out in the moonlightTo settle the matters at handSo pick me up stranger, pick me up softlyI don't know the shape that I'm inChorus:And I did my best with my time in the WestAnd I tried not to leave anyone in distressAnd I have stood tall yeah and I never liedThat's a lieBut I surely triedTo do everything I could do rightPick me up softly, I don't know how much I've been hurtOne bullet missed me, the other one kissed meAnd left me to die in the dirtI killed every last man that shot down my SuzanneIt's over whatever it's worthSo pick me up stranger, pick me up softlyI don't know how much I've been hurtRepeat chorusPick me up softly, I don't know long I have leftOh I am not hurtin', but death is a-certainThere's a bullet that lays in my chestI'm flooded with memories and people and sweet dreamsAnd words to my favourite songsAnd I'll buy the last round if you lay my head downAnd sing one for me when I'm goneRepeat chorus
