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
