Verse 1: Out on the prairie, where the wild winds blow,
There’s a cowboy with a heart full of woe.
He rides through the night, with a lonesome sigh,
Thinking 'bout the love he let slip by.

Chorus: With a cowboy rope, he tried to hold on tight,
But love slipped away in the pale moonlight.
Now he’s roping’ shadows, chasing dreams that fade,
In the heart of the night, where memories are made.

Verse 2: He remembers her smile, like the morning sun,
And the way her laughter made his heart run.
But the open range called, and he had to go,
Leaving behind the love he’d never know.

Chorus: With a cowboy rope, he tried to hold on tight,
But love slipped away in the pale moonlight.
Now he’s roping’ shadows, chasing dreams that fade,
In the heart of the night, where memories are made.

Bridge: Every star in the sky, a tear he won’t cry,
Every whisper of the wind, a silent goodbye.
He rides on alone, with a heart that’s torn,
In the saddle of regret, where love is mourned.

Chorus: With a cowboy rope, he tried to hold on tight,
But love slipped away in the pale moonlight.
Now he’s roping’ shadows, chasing dreams that fade,
In the heart of the night, where memories are made.

Outro: So he rides through the night, with a lonesome sigh,
A cowboy with a heart full of goodbye.
With his cowboy rope, he dreams of her face,
In the endless night, in the wide-open space.
