Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can see you got your eye on this old cowboy
And I can tell you've never had one for your own
Or you've never been around one, now you're thinkin' that you found one
Well, it might be kinda fun to take him home
[Verse 2]
You giggle every time that I say yes, ma'am
And I get this feeling if I held you tight
You'd be seein' his and hers, buckles, boots and spurs
But that's a feeling you'll get over overnight
[Verse 3]
'Cause watcha gonna do with a cowboy
When that old rooster crows at dawn
When he's lyin' there instead of gettin' out of bed
And puttin' on his boots and gettin' gone?
What you gonna do when he says, "Honey
I got a half a mind to stay?"
Watcha gonna do with a cowboy
When he don't saddle up and ride away?
[Verse 4]
You can see it takes a special kinda woman
To put up with the life a cowboy leads
'Cause his boots are always muddy and his beer drinkin' buddies
They'll camp out on your couch and never leave
[Verse 5]
Don't evens tart to think you're gonna change him
You'd be better off to try to rope the wind
What he is what you got and he can't be what he's not
And honey, you can't hide him from your friends
[Verse 6]
So watcha gonna do with a cowboy
When that old rooster crows at dawn
When he's lyin' there instead of gettin' out of bed
And puttin' on his boots and gettin' gone?
What you gonna do when he says, "Honey
I got a half a mind to stay?"
Watcha gonna do with a cowboy
When he don't saddle up and ride away?
[Verse 7]
Yeah, watcha gonna do with a cowboy
When he don't saddle up and ride away?
