Cowboy

[Verse 1] If I was a cowboy, I′d wake before sunrise To watch the west mountains turn pink I’d kiss your cheek softly as you make The coffee as black as old Indian ink If I was a cowboy, I′d love you forever By desert stars all the night through But through the heat waves, can she read all The shame on my face, see me shake in my boots? [Pre-Chorus] She’d take me by the hand as if it’s all okay [Chorus] C′mon cowboy, c′mon cowboy Say you wouldn’t have it any other way C′mon cowboy, c’mon cowboy Can barely bear it when you′re begging me to stay Come on cowboy, can’t leave now boy just Ride this out, boy, don′t be so afraid [Verse 2] If I was a cowboy, I’d move to Wеst Texas On five hundred acrеs of land Buy us two horses and plot our life’s courses As they plod their hooves in the sand If I was a cowboy, I′d kill someone awful And bury him out on the ranch By the light of the evening I′d put up my shovel And wash all the blood off my hands [Pre-Chorus] But she’d take ′em up in yours as if they aren’t stained [Chorus] C′mon cowboy, c’mon cowboy Say you wouldn′t have it any other way C’mon cowboy, c’mon cowboy Can barely bear it when you′re begging me to stay Come on cowboy, can′t leave now boy just Ride this out like a good old cowboy Come on cowboy, come on cowboy Come on cowboy, come on cowboy Come on cowboy, come on cowboy Come on cowboy, come on now [Verse 3/Outro] She said, “I don’t need a cowboy, I need my best friend to love me as best as he can But if you wanna play cowboy, you can ride off like Pancho and ruin some beautiful plans
