Cowboy Bones

I ride where the cowboys all have gone
Condemned man executed at dawn
Mourning is the time to comprehend
My best friend is a traitor in the end

I felt it in my bones
This feeling when I'm all alone
And the pain that's in my soul
Is something I can't control, no, no
I felt it in my bones
Loneliness is like a drone
And the sweet sense of desperation
Is what I wanted all along
And the sweet sense of desperation
Is what I wanted all along, all along.

Only time turn the gullies into valleys
I find solace in the obituaries
Friends are left behind at the wake
Leave the desperate damsel at the stake.

I felt it in my bones
This feeling when you're all alone
And the pain that's in your soul
Is something you can't control, no, no
I felt it in my bones
Loneliness is like a drone
And the sweet sense of desperation
Is what you wanted all along
And the sweet sense of desperation
Is what you wanted all along, all along.

I felt it in my bones
This feeling when we're all alone
And the pain that's in our souls
Is something we can't control, no, no
I felt it in my bones
Loneliness is like a drone
And the sweet sense of desperation
Is what we wanted all along
And the sweet sense of desperation
Is what we wanted all along, all along
And the sweet sense of desperation
Is what we wanted all along, all along.
