Cowboy Like Me

I got to thinking 'bout 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

I'm out here chasing 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

Well I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights

Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale lie

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

She's worn a hole in the carpet 'tween the bed and the farm

She worries about me when I leave 'til I'm back home

'Cause there's downtime for killing

There's whiskey and there's women

It's just right for filling a need

Oh, but she's in no danger

There's no room for a stranger

In the arms of a cowboy like me

I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights

Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale lie

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

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
