If You Were a Cowboy
When I first saw you with your five-o-clock shadow
You were staring off into the sun
And your eyes shot through me
As you took a shot of whiskey
Like an outlaw on the run
So it didn't take me by surprise when you walked right up
And asked me to dance
But like a desert mirage
The closer you got
I know you didn't stand a chance
If you had real dust on your boots
The kind that's passed down from your roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy
If running free ran in your blood
You wouldn't have to pick me up
You'd just ride off with my love
If you were a cowboy
You're just a big city boy wearing turquoise rings
And your $100 ripped up jeans
Smoking Marlboro lights in the bar every night
Thinking that's what grit really means
If you had real dust on your boots
The kind that's passed down from your roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy
If running free ran in your blood
You wouldn't have to pick me up
You'd just ride off with my love
If you were a cowboy
Ooh, ooh, ooh if you were a cowboy
Ooh, ooh, ooh if you were a cowboy
I need a man whose raised up tough
The kind that falls and gets right back up
Maybe you would make the cut
If you were a cowboy
'Cause I got real dust on my boots
The kind that's passed down from my roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy
Ooh, ooh, ooh if you were a cowboy
Ooh, ooh, ooh if you were a cowboy
You were staring off into the sun
And your eyes shot through me
As you took a shot of whiskey
Like an outlaw on the run
So it didn't take me by surprise when you walked right up
And asked me to dance
But like a desert mirage
The closer you got
I know you didn't stand a chance
If you had real dust on your boots
The kind that's passed down from your roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy
If running free ran in your blood
You wouldn't have to pick me up
You'd just ride off with my love
If you were a cowboy
You're just a big city boy wearing turquoise rings
And your $100 ripped up jeans
Smoking Marlboro lights in the bar every night
Thinking that's what grit really means
If you had real dust on your boots
The kind that's passed down from your roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy
If running free ran in your blood
You wouldn't have to pick me up
You'd just ride off with my love
If you were a cowboy
Ooh, ooh, ooh if you were a cowboy
Ooh, ooh, ooh if you were a cowboy
I need a man whose raised up tough
The kind that falls and gets right back up
Maybe you would make the cut
If you were a cowboy
'Cause I got real dust on my boots
The kind that's passed down from my roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy
Ooh, ooh, ooh if you were a cowboy
Ooh, ooh, ooh if you were a cowboy
