Lonesome L.A. Cowboy

1 b7 4 5
I’m just a lonesome L.A. cowboy hangin’ out and hangin’ on
1 b7 4 5
To your window ledge callin’ your name from midnight until dawn
4 5 1 4
I’ve been smokin’ dope snortin’ coke tryin’ to write a song
1 5 1
Forgettin’ everything I know ’til the next line comes along
4 1 5 1
Forgettin’ everything I know ’til the next line comes along
 

1 5 4 1
So many pretty people in this city and I swear some of them are girls
5 4 5
I’ll meet ’em down at Barney’s Beanery in their platform shoes and spit curls
1 5 1 4
I’ll buy ’em drinks we smoke our hopes and try to make it one more night
1 5 1
But when I’m left alone at last I feel like I’ll die from fright
 

I know Kris and Rita and Marty Mull are meetin’ at the Troubadour
We’ll get it on with the joy of cookin’ while the crowd calls out for more
Around six o’clock this mornin’ I’ll be gettin’ kinda slow
When all the shows are over honey tell me where do you think I go
