It's been long, dark, dirty road
�
A pocket full of gold
�
And I've been out here now
�
All on my own
�
Well it's real quiet here
�
Just the way I'd like it here
�
There's no one by the main gate set

1955

�
�
Born to a dean of spite
�
I laid my head on that

Milligan Creek bed
�
I was a young man
�
Helping this land
�
Oh I put down these dreams
�
As a senior man
�
Thought I'd live forever
�
With my heart in my pocket
�
On my gun
�
By my side
�
My feelings in a locket
�
That was a cold year
�
In 77
�
But I married my wife
�
We had two kids
�
I gave her a daughter
�
She gave me a son �
But we rode �

Coming down with those
Gold words you're saying
Then you called me brother
But this can't be so
Cause you slandered my name
And it will, it will blow
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And I
I am a broken cowboy
And I don't feel right no more
Cause I am a broken cowboy
Yes, I am a broken cowboy
I am a broken cowboy

It's a long, dark, dirty road
A box full of gold
And now
I've been out here now
All on my own
It's real quiet here
Just the way I like it here
There's no one to bother me
Except that old taunting tree
