These days everybody wants a cowboy
And I get the appeal
Who doesn't love a rebel in a wide open field?
Your tongue's tied like a lasso
His is silver as his gun
He'll wrangle the moon
And then he'll shoot out the sun
The only thing that he can't do is stay
But he'll tip his hat before he rides away
He'll come in guns blazing then
Leave you wild and craving him
He won't ride into the sunset
He'll be long gone before that
Mend your fence but leave you broken
Just enough so you're still hoping
That's him in the distance
But you haven't heard from him since
He left you in a cloud of dust
Guess this town wasn't big enough of us
That's the thing about cowboys
Sharp shooters don't miss
Anything or anyone
They just keep heading west
You'll never be his sidekick
You're not Bonnie and Clyde
When the sheriff comes to get you
He'll leave you behind
The only thing that he can't do is stay
But he'll tip his hat before he rides away
He'll come in guns blazing then
Leave you wild and craving him
He won't ride into the sunset
He'll be long gone before that
Mend your fence but leave you broken
Just enough so you're still hoping
That's him in the distance
But you haven't heard from him since
He left you in a cloud of dust
Guess this town wasn't big enough of us
One hand on his holster and a bounty on his head
I'm the only one who wants him who don't want him dead
The only thing quicker than his quickdraw was how
Fast my heart broke when I heard he left town
The only thing that he can't do is change
But he'll leave you with a promise of someday
Came in guns blazing then
Left me wild and craving him
He didn't ride into the sunset
He was long gone before that
Both of his guns still smoking
Years later I'm still hoping
I'll see him in the distance
But I haven't heard from him since
He left me in his cloud of dust
Guess this town wasn't big enough for both of us
