If You're Looking For A Cowboy
|
|
If you're looking for a cowboy, girls
And you’re sure that’s what you want
You listen to me carefully
I’ll give you some do’s and don’ts
If you have given it some thought
And you’ve truly set your mind
Let me give you girls some advice
If it’s a cowboy you want to find
You see, I know what you’re looking for
So heed these words I say
Cause you won’t find him at the places
You girls are looking today
Oh, you may find some real cool dude
Driving a red dual wheel GMC
But, that don’t make him a cowboy
So you’d better listen to me
Just because he knows how to two step
And wears them Wrangler jeans
Well, you had best be on your toes
Cause things aren’t what they seem
Oh, but, if he drives a flatbed
And his hat has seen some wear
He’ll only eat red meat and beans
And goes to the county fair
There’s a button missing on his shirt
And his boots come to his knees
His spurs jingle when he walks
So, now you’re starting to see
You won’t find him hanging out
At the local downtown mall
He don’t wear a beeper
Cause his horse can’t dial to call
He won’t be at the public beach
And he’s not for traveling far
He stays away from opera
And he probably don’t own a car
Don’t try in the rodeo stands
You best look behind the gate
Cause cowboys ride, they don’t watch
And they’re always running late
So, “Where”, you say, “Do we go
To meet to cowboy of our dreams?"
Well, it won’t be at a preppy club
And he won’t be wearing designer jeans
The hardware store’s a sure bet
And that little roadside café
Mama’s house on Sunday’s
Or in the meadow baling hay
Oh, he does love the pretty girls
So he’ll make the drive to town
And if one offered to cook his breakfast
He wouldn’t turn her down
So if you don’t mind his cowdog
Or the hayseeds in the seat
The spit can and his can of chew
And the fact he eats red meat
He might have a beer for breakfast
And no excuse for running late
But the heifer’s having trouble
And he had to re-hang the gate
But, God, your girlfriends love him
And they wish that they were you
Even though they wouldn’t tell you
They’d like to have one too
So, if you listen to what I’m saying
And heed the words I say to you
You’ll find yourself a real cowboy
But, after that it’s up to you
Cause finding one’s not easy
Or maybe you’ll be like me
And just stumble onto to one by accident
And go from being me to we
