[Intro]
I got to thinking about all the stuff we worry about and I realized that
All that a man really needs
Is a horse you can catch when you need him
A dog that'll come when you call
A good friend who owns an arena
And a trailer that's legal to haul
A woman who'll share my frustrations
When the cow market's falling apart
A pair of good spurs, a saddle that fits
And a one-ton Ford pick-up that starts
Everything else is window-dressing
[Verse 1]
I'm out here chasin' these rainbows that I need to find
I go and Lord knows it kills me to leave her behind
She drew a low card when she gave me her heart
And sometimes it's hard to believe
That sweet little angel went and got herself tangled
In the arms of a cowboy like me
[Chorus]
Well, I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights
Smoky bars and guitars don't make for no fairytale life
And every time I head home, I think I'll find her gone
But she's still there and still wants to be
In the arms of a cowboy like me
[Verse 2]
She's worn a hole in the carpet between the bed and the phone
She worries about me when I leave 'til I'm back home
'Cause there's downtime for killin'
There's whiskey and there's women
That's just right for fillin' a need
Oh, but she's in no danger
There's no room for a stranger
In the arms of a cowboy like me
[Chorus]
I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights
Smoky bars and guitars don't make for no fairytale life
Every time I head home, I think I'll find her gone
But she's still there and still wants to be
In the arms of a cowboy like me
[Outro]
Yeah, every time I head home, I think I'll find her gone
But she's still there and still wants to be
In the arms of a cowboy like me
In the arms of a cowboy like me
A cowboy like me
