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
