Just a lonesome L.A. cowboy, hangin' out, hangin' on
To your window ledge, callin' your name from midnight until dawn
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
Well, there's so many pretty people in the city
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 make it one more night
But when I'm left all alone at last
I'd feel like I'll die from fright
Just a lonesome L.A. cowboy, hangin' out, hangin' on
To your window ledge, callin' your name from midnight until dawn
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
Well, I know Kris and Rita, and Marty Mull
Are meeting at my father's place tonight
We'll get it on with the old "new writers"
While the crowd cries out, "That's all right"
'Round six o'clock this morning
Well, I'll be gettin' kinda slow
When all the shows are over
Honey, tell me, where do you think I go? Yeah
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy, hangin' out, hangin' on
To your window ledge, callin' your name from midnight until dawn
Smokin' dope, snortin' coke, and 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
Thank you
Chamomile, what?
Chamomile, who?
Well, if nobody's going to be able to answer it right now
We'll just have to tell you, go right ahead, buddy, start the tune
We'll just show them what we're talking about
