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
