"Asphalt Cowboy" Lyrics (Jason Aldean album)
Written By Kenny West, Jeff Stevens
[Verse 1:]
The sun has opened up my eyes,
An' I don't want to leave your side,
For that lonesome road, but here I go.
Climbin' back behind the wheel,
Of 50 feet of chrome an' steel,
An' a load they need in Chicago.
Through the middle of the night unknown,
I'm on a ride that won't let me go.
[Chorus:]
I'm an asphalt cowboy,
Born to run underneath the stars,
Pay no mind to my lonely heart.
I just ride, ride,
Till I'm back in your arms again,
I'll be out here on the wind.
[Verse 2:]
An' sometimes late at night,
I see your picture by the dashboard light,
An' it takes me where I'd like to be,
Wrapped up in a blanket there.
Pullin' ribbons from you hair an' your kiss,
Girl that's what I miss.
Still I drive there horses throught the rain an' snow,
This high-speed rodeo is all I know.
[Extended chorus:]
I'm an asphalt cowboy,
Born to run underneath the stars,
Pay no mind to my lonely heart.
I just ride, ride,
Till I'm back in your arms again,
I'll be out here on the wind.
An' I'll ride,
Till I'm back in your arms again,
I'll be out here on the wind.
An' I'll ri-ee-ide,
Through the middle of the night unknown,
I'm on a ride that won't let me go.
[Instrumental to end.]
