He'Ll Be Back 'Round Sundown

There he goes again, takin’ off on that stud I know he’ll come back all covered in mud. It kills me, seein’ him leave I’m afraid he’ll get hurt even though I know he’s not naïve. He tells me he thinks about me while sittin’ ‘round the fire eatin’ beans So then why does he still head out there by all means? Herdin’ those cattle and movin’ them from town to town Brings home the bacon, but always seems to get me down. Seein’ my Cowboy leave breaks my heart But when he arrives home I’m ‘specially happy we are no longer apart. I hear his boots tiredly walkin’ up to the door And just that alone makes me giddy galore. I know it sounds absolutely silly But holdin’ those rough chapped hands sure makes me happy. When he smiles at me his nose crinkles And I see that the long tough days have given him wrinkles. It’s crazy how much he has changed But I know he is still the amazin’ man I engaged.
