Lyrics

A COWBOY IN LOVE © T. ELY 2025

HE'LL SHOW UP ON SATURDAY FRESH-BATHED AND CLEAN-SHAVED
HAIR SLICK WITH SWEET-SMELLIN' STUFF
BOOTS SHINED AND PRESSED JEANS EVEN HIS HORSE CLEAN
AND ALL OF ITS TACK FRESHLY BUFFED
HAT OFF AND FLOWERS HE'S PRACTICED FOR HOURS
JUST WHAT TO SAY AND JUST HOW
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT NOW IT'S SURE AS SHOOTIN' GAL
YOU'VE GOT A COWBOY IN LOVE

HE'S ON YOUR FRONT DOOR STEP ASKIN' TO TWO STEP
WHILE HOLDIN' YOU CLOSER THAN CLOSE
DOWN AT THE ARMORY WHERE THE SWEET FIDDLES PLAY
SAN ANTONIO ROSE
HE MAY NOT SHOW IT BUT HE'S SWEATIN' BULLETS
WONDRIN' IF HE'S PULLED IT OFF
THERE'S NO DENYIN' TONIGHT HE'LL BE TRYIN'
TO BE YOUR COWBOY IN LOVE

A COWBOY IN LOVE
THERE AIN'T A MORE PITIFUL STATE
PICKET FENCE DREAMS
MUDDLE HIS MIND NIGHT AND DAY
HEAD IN THE CLOUDS
HEART ON HIS SLEEVE
AIN'T WORTH A DANG FOR WRANGLIN' BEEF
NO THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' QUITE LIKE THE PLIGHT
OF A COWBOY IN LOVE

MONDAY HE'S BACK ON THE RANGE BUT HE'S SURE ACTIN' STRANGE
WITH THAT GRIN ON HIS FACE
HE'S USELESS WITH CATTLE HE'S ADDLED AND RATTLED
HE CAN'T KEEP HIS HEAD IN THE GAME
SO HE'S SENT OUT OF HARM'S WAY UNTIL HE CAN REGAIN
THE SENSE THE LORD GAVE HIM SOMEHOW
NOW HE'S OUT RIDIN' FENCES SAFE BUT DEFENSELESS
FROM THE FEVER CALLED "COWBOY IN LOVE"
