Forgive This Old Cowboy

I’ve run long and hard down this trail we call life it’s been filled with heartache and been filled with strife I've taken some things with my gun, fist and knife But I swear I’ve always been faithful to you Sometimes I've flirted with a filly or two there have been times when I chased a drink or two I sometimes didn’t do what I said I’d do But I swear I’ve always been faithful to you I have gambled away a paycheck or two I've told some white lies but never one to you Have I hidden cards? Maybe more than a few But I swear I’ve always been faithful to you I have cussed like a sailor on Friday night Never was accused of being too polite Had a hard time telling what's wrong and what's right But I swear, I've always been faithful to you Now I’m near the end of this dusty old trail I’ve tried to make you proud but I’ve always failed You needed the sun but I’ve forever paled But I swear I’ve always been faithful to you Now I have lost the trail in this setting sun You deserved a good man but I wasn't one I hope you'll find what you need after I'm gone Remember, I've always been faithful to you
