[Verse 1]
I'm lonesome but happy
Rich but I'm broke
And the good Lord knows the reason
I'm just a cowpoke

[Verse 2]
From Cheyenne to Douglas
All the ranges I know
'Cause I drift with the wind
No one cares where I go

[Verse 3]
I ain't got a dime
In these old wore-out jeans
So I'll stop eatin' steak
And go back to beans

[Verse 4]
I'll pick up a ten spot
In Prescott, I know
A-ridin' the broncs
In the big rodeo

[Verse 5]
Some evenin' in springtime
A filly I'll find
And we might spend all the summer
With her on my mind
[Verse 6]
But I'll never be branded
And never be broke
I'm a carefree range-ridin'
Driftin' cowpoke
