[Chorus]
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
Hangin' out and hangin' on
To your window ledge, calling your name
From midnight until dawn
I been smokin' dope, snortin' coke
Tryin' to write a song
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along

[Verse 1]
There’s so many pretty people in the city
And I swear, some of them are girls
I'll meet 'em down at barney's beanery
With their platform shoes and spit curls
I'll buy 'em drinks, we smoke our hopes
And try to makе it one more night
But when I'm lеft alone at last
I feel like I'll die from fright

[Chorus]
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
Hangin' out and hangin' on
To your window ledge, calling your name
From midnight until dawn
I been smokin' dope, snortin' coke
Tryin' to write a song
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
