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
