I can see you got your eye on this old cowboy And I can tell you never had one for your own Oh, you've never been around one Now you're thinkin' that you've found one Well, it might be kinda fun to take him home You giggle every time that I say yes, ma'am And I get this feelin' if I held you tight You'd be seein' his and hers, buckles, boots and spurs But that's a feelin' you'll get over overnight Cause what you gonna do with a cowboy When that old rooster crows at dawn When he's lyin' there instead of gettin' out of bed And puttin' on his boots and gettin' gone What you gonna do when he says, honey I got a half of mine to stay What you gonna do with a cowboy When he don't saddle up and ride away You see, it takes a special kind of woman To put up with the life a cowboy leads Cause his boots are always muddy And his beer-drinkin' buddies They'll camp out on the couch and never leave Don't even start to think you're gonna change him You'd be better off to try to rope the wind What he is is what you got And he can't be what he's not And honey, you can't hide him from your friend So what you gonna do with a cowboy When that old rooster crows at dawn When he's lyin' there instead of gettin' out of bed And puttin' on his boots and gettin' gone What you gonna do when he says, honey I got a half of mine to stay What you gonna do with a cowboy When he don't saddle up and ride away Yeah, what you gonna do with a cowboy When he don't saddle up and ride away
