Lyrics: Peter Rowan
Music: Peter Rowan

chorus
A augmentedA           E MajorE
I'm just lonesome L.A. cowboy
D MajorD            E MajorE
Hanging out, and hanging on
    A augmentedA       E MajorE
To your window ledge, callin' your name
   D MajorD        E MajorE
From midnight until dawn
    D MajorD       E MajorE
I been smoking dope, snorting coke
 A augmentedA        D MajorD
Trying to write a song
        A augmentedA
Forgettin' everything I know
     E MajorE        A augmentedA
Till the next line comes along
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Forgetting everything I know
     E MajorE        A augmentedA
Till the next line comes along

verse1
A augmentedA               E MajorE
So many pretty people in this city, and I swear
D MajorD         A augmentedA
Some of them are girls
              E MajorE
I meet 'em down at Barney's Beanery
      D MajorD           E MajorE
In their platform shoes and spit curls
  D MajorD         E MajorE
I buy 'em drinks, we stoke our hopes
      A augmentedA        D MajorD
And try to make it one more night
       A augmentedA
When I'm left alone at last
  E MajorE            A augmentedA
I feel like I'll die from crying

[chorus]

I know Kris and Rita and Marty Mull (note 1)
Are meeting at the Troubadour
We'll get it on with the "Joy Of Cooking"
While the crowd calls out for more
Around six o'clock this morning
I'll be gettin' kind of slow
When all the shows are over, honey, tell me
Where do you think I go?

[chorus]

Till the next line comes along
Notes
(1) in rehearsals with Old And In The Way, Peter Rowan sang
I know all the stars in Hollywood
Are meeting at the Troubador
We'll get it on with the band that's playing there
