The Cowboy Rides Away - George Strait - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In "The Cowboy Rides Away," the singer is galloping away from a failed relationship and evokes the closing credits in a classic western. "We've been in and out of love and in-between / And now we play the final showdown scene," he sings. "As the credits roll, a sad song starts to play / And this is where the cowboy rides away." Neotraditional country figurehead George Strait released "The Cowboy Rides Away"—written by Sonny Throckmorton and Casey Kelly—as the second single from his platinum-selling, CMA award-winning fourth album Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind (1984) and went to number five on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with the track in 1985. It was also the last song George Strait sang at his final the Cowboy Rides Away Tour concert on 7 June 2014 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas with a worldwide record-setting attendance for the show at 104,000.
