Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take me to the wild, wild west
I'll wear my finest dress to your midnight rodeo
Take me on your fastest ride
Like Bonnie and Clyde, down the darkest back road
I'll keep on holdin' tight to you until we see tomorrow
Up and down, round and round, eight seconds ain't enough
And I can't help it, but I'm in love with a cowboy
[Verse 2]
The only time when you see me is when the thunder clashes
In the middle of the night, with the wolves in action
And despite a dead body, you straight up makin' her say
(I'm in love, I'm in love with a cowboy)
She's in love with a mystery, if I do point blank
'Cause I stay ridin' through towns, like I don't ever even stay
I'm just cruisin' the coast with about five hundred horses
No brakes at my feet, 'cause all I know is to floor it
And she stands at the porch askin' "Why can't I go?"
I tell her flirtin' with disaster is all that I know
I'll be back when the sun sinks down in the hills
Trenchcoat pulled tight, six gun on my hip
Lit Marlboro Red hangin' out of my lips
Call me the Lonesome Dove, I disappear in the mist
Of the Clydesdale hooves, click clack to a swamp song
By the time I told her, you know I'll already be gone (Gone)
[Verse 3]
Take me to the wild, wild west
I'll wear my finest dress to your midnight rodeo
Take me on your fastest ride
Like Bonnie and Clyde, down the darkest back road
I'll keep on holdin' tight to you until we see tomorrow
Up and down, round and round, eight seconds ain't enough
And I can't help it, but I'm in love with a cowboy
[Verse 4]
The wild west is a land for a gambling man
But no pretty lady holds two rough hands
'Cause these hands got a quick draw for these stars
Hit the bullseye point blank, one shot from afar
These boots been through the kelp and the hot mud
I leave the heartbreak to the dive of the FL
When I'm tired of the road, put on that fancy dress
And slip the high heels on, put that sequin to rest, uh
[Verse 5]
I'll take you to the wild, wild west
Where they gunsling the best and the whiskey's like gasoline
Make me run away with you in a smokey saloon
And make up for the nights that I was missin' you
[Verse 6]
Take me to the wild, wild west
I'll wear my finest dress to your midnight rodeo
Take me on your fastest ride
Like Bonnie and Clyde, down the darkest back road
I'll keep on holdin' tight to you until we see tomorrow
Up and down, round and round, eight seconds ain't enough
And I can't help it, but I'm in love with a cowboy
I'm in love, I'm in love with a cowboy
