Lyrics

[Intro] I got to thinking about all the stuff we worry about and I realized that All that a man really needs Is a horse you can catch when you need him A dog that'll come when you call A good friend who owns an arena And a trailer that's legal to haul A woman who'll share my frustrations When the cow market's falling apart A pair of good spurs, a saddle that fits And a one-ton Ford pick-up that starts Everything else is window-dressing [Verse 1] I'm out here chasin' these rainbows that I need to find I go and Lord knows it kills me to leave her behind She drew a low card when she gave me her heart And sometimes it's hard to believe That sweet little angel went and got herself tangled In the arms of a cowboy like me [Chorus] Well, I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights Smoky bars and guitars don't make for no fairytale life And every time I head home, I think I'll find her gone But she's still there and still wants to be In the arms of a cowboy like me [Verse 2] She's worn a hole in the carpet between the bed and the phone She worries about me when I leave 'til I'm back home 'Cause there's downtime for killin' There's whiskey and there's women That's just right for fillin' a need Oh, but she's in no danger There's no room for a stranger In the arms of a cowboy like me [Chorus] I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights Smoky bars and guitars don't make for no fairytale life Every time I head home, I think I'll find her gone But she's still there and still wants to be In the arms of a cowboy like me [Outro] Yeah, every time I head home, I think I'll find her gone But she's still there and still wants to be In the arms of a cowboy like me In the arms of a cowboy like me A cowboy like me
