My baby's on his way and he's got nowhere to stay
And I wonder what he's thinking on his own

He's promised me his heart and he says he really loves me
and I'll marry him as soon he's coming home

[Chorus:]
I'm riding in the desert and I'm heading into nowhere
The sun is showing me the way
I'm riding alone
I'm looking for adventure cause I left my girl in texas
I'm a stranger and I'm riding alone

I'm working as a waitress the saloon is never empty
I got so many suitors all around

Although some are very handsome they will never get my hand
bacause I'm waiting for my cowboy to come home
