The Cowboy Rides Away:
George Strait.

I knew the stakes were high right from the start,
When she dealt the cards, I bet my heart.
Now I just found a game that I can't play,
And this is where the cowboy rides away.

Instrumental break. 

We've been in and out of love, and in-between,
And now we play the final showdown scene.
And as the credits roll, a sad song starts to play:
This is where the cowboy rides away.
