A Cowboy's Ways

Sometimes he gets crazy as men are known to do

He'll lose his head in spite of everything he stands to lose

What is it in a man that makes him act like such a fool

She swears she never knew but always needed to

But stubborn pride is just the way of cowboys i suppose

Even love can't change the things he ought to change the most

And it's pride that keeps him standing when he should be on his knees

Makin' apologies but she loves him desperately



Oh but now and again she wished he'd been a poet

So he'd know all the perfect lines to say

And have some great romantic way to show it

Be the hero ridin' up to save the day

And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor

To sweep her up and carry her away

Oh but he don't have no magic ways to charm her

No cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways



"i love you" and "i'm sorry" are words that just don't come

Cause words like that are no match for the kind that rule his tongue

But his eyes keep tellin' her "you know i love you anyway

No matter what i say or what i never say"



Oh but now and again she wished he'd been a poet

So he'd know all those fancy lines to say

And have some great romantic way to show it

Be the hero ridin' up to save the day

And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor

And sweep her up and carry her away

Oh but he don't have no magic ways to charm her

No cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways



His ways seem cold but she knows he's much warmer

But even love can't change a cowboy's ways



He's just a fool that must defend his honor

But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
