She was acting distant
A little bit cold when we talked on the phone
So I drove all night
but that West Texas sunrise lead me home
I stepped into the kitchen
That's when I saw the note she wrote, that said

"Adios, Cowboy, hope you take care of yourself"
She left her ring by her wine glass
And not much of anything else
No, we're just a come back end game
No, "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No, make it all up 'til you kiss
That's as goodbye, as it gets
She said, "Adios, Cowboy"

Guess you could say, I made a few mistakes
Hell, more than a little
'Cause a woman like you
Could use more than some part-time in my head
That's what you left me with

"Adios, Cowboy, hope you take care of yourself"
She left her ring by the wine glass
And not much of anything else
No, we're just a come back end game
No, "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No, make it all up 'til you kiss
That's as goodbye as it gets
Oh whoa, she said, "Adios, Cowboy"
Whoa-oh

Used to mean something so different
When I'd hit the road, she'd say

"Adios, Cowboy" and "Hope you take care of yourself"
She left her ring by the wine glass
And not much of anything else
No, we're just a come back end game
No, "I'll call you, when I get to my friend's"
No, make it all up 'til you kiss
That's as goodbye, as it gets
She said, "Adios Cowboy, Adios Cowboy"
She said, "Adios Cowboy"
