If You Were A Cowboy Lyrics

When I first saw you
With your five o'clock shadow
You were starin' off into the sun
And your eyes shot through me
As you took a shot of whiskey
Like an outlaw on the run
So it didn't take me by surprise
When you walked right up
And asked me to dance
But like like a desert mirage
The closer you got
I knew you didn't stand a chance

If you had real dust on your boots
The kind that's passed down from your roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy
If runnin' free ran in your blood
You wouldn't have to pick me up
You'd just ride off with my love
If you were a cowboy

Just a big-city boy
Wearing turquoise rings
And your hundred-dollar ripped-up jeans
Smokin' Marlboro Lights
In the bar every night
Thinkin' that's what [?] really needs

If you had real dust on your boots
The kind that's passed down from your roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy
If runnin' free ran in your blood
You wouldn't have to pick me up
You'd just ride off with my love
If you were a cowboy

If you were a cowboy
If you were a cowboy

I need a man who's raised up tough
The kind that falls and gets right back up
Maybe you would make the cut
If you were a cowboy
'Cause I got real dust on my boots
The kind that's passed down from my roots
I bet I would fall for you
If you were a cowboy

If you were a cowboy
If you were a cowboy
