cowboy kate came too late,
|
she'll never see the dawn.
|
cowboy kate came too late,
|
she'll never face the sun.
|
|
the love goes by and the life runs dry,
|
pulls the tinsel from her hair.
|
she loses sight in the velvet night,
|
drops a tin can by the chair.
|
|
[chorus:]
|
through all the tiny victories and the big defeats,
|
it's carolina skeletons that keep her rooted to her seat.
|
|
cowboy kate came too late,
|
she'll never read the signs.
|
cowboy kate came too late,
|
she'll never have the time.
|
|
the love goes by and the life runs dry,
|
pulls the tinsel from her hair.
|
she dreams of flight in the velvet night,
|
throws a tin can in the air.
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
[chorus 2:]
|
through all the shitty obstacles and all the words so sweet,
|
it's carolina skeletons that make her stranger when she eats.
