Cowboy Like Me

[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
