If You Can Dance

You ain't gotta ride the wide open spaces

Chasin' cows under a Montana sky

Oh, I promise, I ain't hatin'

But you don't need no Copenhagen smile

You ain't gotta make a short-go at the rodeo

Wear a buckle on your pants made of gold

You don't have to own a Stetson hat

Yeah, buddy, there's ways around that

Gotta get home from a long, hard day

Throw off your workweek, throw on some jeans

And head down to your honky tonk

Find you a sweet thing, make a little small talk

And ask the band for a little George Strait

And take her by the hand

Slide out on that hardwood

'Cause you're only a cowboy if you can dance

If you find yourself facin' this situation

Go ahead and play it cowboy cool

When the song is done and the spin's been spun

Go ahead and just pull her up a stool

Better buy her a drink and you gotta let her know

Just a few more songs before you let her go

And if she asks about your stetson hat

Oh, go on, boy, tell her 'bout that

I just got off from a long, hard day

Threw off my workweek, threw on some jeans

And came down to this honky tonk

Found me a sweet thing and we're makin' small talk

I asked the band for a little George Strait

And I took you by the hand

We slid out on that hardwood

'Cause you're only a cowboy if you can dance

I asked the band for a little George Strait

And I took you by the hand

We slid out on that hardwood

'Cause you're only a cowboy

Yes, you're only a cowboy if you can dance
