Once in a lifetime a cowboy gets lucky
 And meets the girl of his dreams
 But one day she leaves him
 And the magic get's trampled
 Along with his hell raisin' schemes
 His life takes a turn for the worse
 And he learns how to drown
 All his troubles and fears
 And when the day comes
 That she wants to call him
 Well this is the message she'll hear
 You've reached the room
 Of the high ridin' cowboy
 Who's been alone too long
 She won't come back to me
 So if you would please
 Leave a message
 At the sound of the tone
 A lonely two room apartment
 That once echoed her laughter
 Now seems so quiet and?
 That old six string guitar
 That he's had for ages
 Only plays those sad hurtin' songs
 And a half empty bottle of 90 proof freedom
 Stands guard inside his lonely walls
 And as his tears fall like raindrops
 He stares out his window
 Just praying to God that she'll call
 You've reached the room
 Of the high ridin' cowboy
 Who's been alone too long
 She won't come back to me
 So if you would please
 Leave a message
 At the sound of the tone
 She won't come back to me
 So if you would please
 Leave a message
 At the sound of the tone
