A Cowboy's Ways
Sometimes he gets crazy as men are known to do
He'll lose his head in spite of everything he stands to lose
What is it in a man that makes him act like such a fool
She swears she never knew but always needed to
But stubborn pride is just the way of cowboys I suppose
Even love can't change the things he ought to change the most
And it's pride that keeps him standing when he should be on his knees
Makin' apologies but she loves him desperately
Oh, but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all the perfect lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day.
And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
To sweep her up and carry her away
Oh, but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No, 'cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
"I love you" and "I'm sorry" are words that just don't come
'Cause words like that are no match for the kind that rule his tongue
But his eyes keep tellin' her you know I love you anyway
No matter what I say or what I never say
Oh, but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all those fancy lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day
And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
And sweep her up and carry her away
Oh, but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No, 'cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
His ways seem cold but she knows he's much warmer
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
He's just a fool that must defend his honor
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
He'll lose his head in spite of everything he stands to lose
What is it in a man that makes him act like such a fool
She swears she never knew but always needed to
But stubborn pride is just the way of cowboys I suppose
Even love can't change the things he ought to change the most
And it's pride that keeps him standing when he should be on his knees
Makin' apologies but she loves him desperately
Oh, but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all the perfect lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day.
And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
To sweep her up and carry her away
Oh, but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No, 'cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
"I love you" and "I'm sorry" are words that just don't come
'Cause words like that are no match for the kind that rule his tongue
But his eyes keep tellin' her you know I love you anyway
No matter what I say or what I never say
Oh, but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all those fancy lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day
And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
And sweep her up and carry her away
Oh, but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No, 'cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
His ways seem cold but she knows he's much warmer
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
He's just a fool that must defend his honor
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
