You were rough
You were tough
Strict ain't saying enough
There was never any room for feelings
You were stern
Looks would burn
And I just had to learn
That in God, maybe I'd find healing
Guess somehow I knew if I were to survive
Or make it through this life alive
I would have to be a cowboy like you
So I grew up
I grew tough
A hardened heart ain't saying enough
I just never gave thought to my feelings
But you taught me
To work hard
With nothing "lended" and nothing borrowed
I would rock and roll and keep on dealing
Guess somehow I knew if I were to survive
Or make it through this life alive
I would have to be a cowboy like you
God has blessed me
With a man
Who changed up all my plans
I no longer have to wear the pants
We go dancing
We make music
And there ain't nothing to it
He's the answer to my every prayer
Guess somehow God knew if I were to survive
Or make it through this life alive
I would have to have
I would have to have
A cowboy like you
