Cowboy Romance [Greek translation]

It's a Saturday afternoon romance

Between a cowboy and a fool...

A drunken meet up

In a crude saloon

A poor rocky mountain town

He's a scoundrel and

She's no pearl

Together they are two lovers cruel

Got her balanced on his knee

He knows exactly what to say

"you ain't been born

'til you get out of town

And honey, you might come with me

If you do . . .

I'll spare the innocent ones

And take you with me

Together we will be drifters free"

Got her tangled in his arms

She's a lusting, trusting fool

"there's no man born that can rule me

And that I've sworn

But stranger if you do

I'll belong to you

If you do . . . would you spare the innocent ones

And take me with you?

Can't you love the land

And love me too?"

As he grows sober

Sees his love anew

In the morning light so true

He gets on the move...

On the move
