"I'll Be Your Cowboy," A COUNTRY SONG

VERSE:             

When the sun drops low on the horizon,

And the tumbleweed rolls by slow, 

If you’re alone and tears start fallin’,

I’ll be your cowboy.

 

VERSE:             

I’ll lasso your broken heart to my buckle,

Sing you songs by the campfire glow.

I’ll ride through dust just to find you.

I’ll be your cowboy.         

 

CHORUS:          

Coyotes howl in the darkness.

Lonely mesas go on for miles. 

Postcards from the trail are forgotten. 

But my love for you still runs wild. 

 

VERSE:             

The barbed wire will not hurt you, 

Or the wind by night that blows.

My cracked boots will be stronger.

I’ll be your cowboy. 

 

VERSE:             

I’ve thrown out my whiskey bottles. 

I’ve survived like a black crow.      

I tip my hat against the twilight.  

I’ll be your cowboy.         

                        

CHORUS:          

Coyotes howl in the darkness.

Lonely mesas go on for miles. 

Postcards from the trail are forgotten. 

But my love for you still runs wild. 

 

BRIDGE:           

There’s room for you on my saddle. 

Just let me hold the reins. 

You can wear my bandana. 

We’ll triumph through the plains. 

 

CHORUS:          

Coyotes howl in the darkness.

Lonely mesas go on for miles. 

Postcards from the trail are forgotten. 

But my love for you still runs wild. 

 

VERSE:             

You’ll see our silhouette on horseback.

We’ll take the long road home. 

My hands may be rough, but I am gentle.

I’ll be your cowboy. 

 

VERSE:             

When the stars go dark in the desert, 

And the cattle try to kick and roam,

I’ll hold you close, oh my cowgirl.

I’ll be your cowboy. 

 

TAG:                 

Baby, I’ll be your cowboy.

I’ll be your cowboy.
