lyrics

I was a dimestore cowboy they called me the king of make believe/ fitted suit cheap pair of boots a couple of aces up my sleeve/ if you know what i mean/ honey i wish you well where i’m going no one can tell/ i don’t think you ever knew me well i’m a heartbreak man/ i miss my life out on the west coast/ i forgot my true identity/ no one here knows my god given name/ they’re just in love with a fantasy/ honey i wish you well where i’m going no one can tell/ and i don’t think you ever knew me well i’m a heartbreak man/ i’m going to leave here in the morning or maybe undercover in the middle of the night/ i don’t think you’re going to miss me pretty darling/ in fact i think you’re going to be just fine
