(pad, ac-gtr, f-vox hum)
(M) Mmm… yeah...
(F) Mmm... yeah...

[Verse 1]
(ac-gtr, snr tap)
(M) Cowboy gave his best to ones who left,
Kept his word when they just slept,
One burned his soul and called it love,
One swore forever, then gave it up.
Now he’s just a man with too much past,
Tryin’ to forget what never lasts,
Countin’ ghosts in the rear-view light,
Talkin’ to the dark each night.
(F-echo) Each night…
---
[Pre-Chorus]
(pno, pad)
(M) Every “forever” felt so true,
‘Til forever stopped lovin’ too...
(F-hmny) Forever stopped lovin’ too...
---
[Chorus]
(steel, snr, 808)
(M) I’m somewhere between love and gone,
Half a heart still bleedin’ on,
Still hear her laugh in every song,
Yeah, this Cowboy’s somewhere between love and gone.
(F-echo) Between love… and gone...
---
[Verse 2]
(ac-gtr, steel, rim)
(M) She taught him how to stand his ground,
Then left him when he fell down,
Another loved him, then walked away,
Guess some hearts ain’t built to stay.
Now he pours it out in every line,
Bleedin’ truth in four-four time,
Still searchin’ for where he belongs,
In the silence after wrong.
(F-echo) After wrong...
---
[Bridge]
(pad, pno, falsetto)
(M) If heartbreak’s just the toll for love,
Then he’s paid more than enough,
But Lord, don’t let him lose the flame,
That keeps this Cowboy lovin’ anyway.
(F-echo) Love anyway...
---
[Final Chorus]
(str, steel, full band)
(M) I’m somewhere between love and gone,
Learned to smile while movin’ on,
Every scar a truth I lean upon,
Yeah, this Cowboy’s somewhere between love and gone.
(F-echo) Between love... and gone...
---
[Outro]
(ac-gtr, pad, f-vox hum)
(M) Maybe that’s where hearts belong…
Cowboy’s somewhere between love and gone.
(F-echo) Love and gone...
