If You Were a Cowboy

My momma warned me about this
About rodeos
And guys who swing ropes
Don't hold on to that hope

So I stayed on my feet
Safe and sound on concrete
It was there you found me
I should have known

If you were, if you were a Cowboy
You'd know when to shut up and when to pick up the phone
If you were, if you were a Cowboy
You'd kick the shit from your boots
It's the least you could do to take me home

Now I don't ask for much
Just that you're man enough
To know when to take off your hat
And when the going gets rough
You have the tools in your truck
And a hitch in the back for that

If you were, if you were a cowboy
You would hold the door and look me in the eye
If you were, if you were a cowboy
You'd get bucked off and get back up next time

Now I know not all men are
Made of horses and whiskey and barbed wire
But momma ain't always right
If you're a cowboy then I'm all yours tonight

If you were, if you were a cowboy
You could hold the reigns and still hand me my purse
If you were, if you were a cowboy
You'd take me to town and tuck in your damn shirt

My momma warned me about this
About rodeos
And guys who swing ropes
I held on to that hope
