New Riders of the Purple Sage — Lonesome L.A. Cowboy
Lonesome L.A. Cowboy - New Riders of the Purple Sage
from the LP NRPS
Lyrics: Peter Rowan
Music: Peter Rowan
chorus
AE
I'm just lonesome L.A. cowboy
DE
Hanging out, and hanging on
AE
To your window ledge, callin' your name
DE
From midnight until dawn
DE
I been smoking dope, snorting coke
AD
Trying to write a song
A
Forgettin' everything I know
EA
Till the next line comes along
DA
Forgetting everything I know
EA
Till the next line comes along
verse1
AE
So many pretty people in this city, and I swear
DA
Some of them are girls
E
I meet 'em down at Barney's Beanery
DE
In their platform shoes and spit curls
DE
I buy 'em drinks, we stoke our hopes
AD
And try to make it one more night
A
When I'm left alone at last
EA
I feel like I'll die from crying
(chorus)
I know Kris and Rita and Marty Mull (note 1)
Are meeting at the Troubadour
We'll get it on with the "Joy Of Cooking"
While the crowd calls out for more
Around six o'clock this morning
I'll be gettin' kind of slow
When all the shows are over, honey, tell me
Where do you think I go?
(chorus)
Till the next line comes along
Notes
(1) in rehearsals with Old And In The Way, Peter Rowan sang
I know all the stars in Hollywood
Are meeting at the Troubador
We'll get it on with the band that's playing there
While the crowd calls out for more
