paroles de chanson Cowboy - Jack Van Cleaf

If I was a cowboy I'd wake before sunrise
To watch the west mountains turn pink
I'd kiss your cheek softly as you make
The coffee as black as old Indian ink
If I was a cowboy I'd love you forever
By desert stars all the night through
But through the heat waves, can he read all
The shame on my face, see me shake in my boots?

She'd take me by the hand as if it's all okay
C'mon cowboy, c'mon cowboy
Say you wouldn't have it any other way
C'mon cowboy, c'mon cowboy
Barely there when you're begging me to stay
Come on cowboy, can't leave now boy just
Ride this out, boy, don't be so afraid

If I was a cowboy I'd move to West Texas
On five hundred acres of land
Buy us two horses and plot our life's courses
As they plod their hooves in the sand
If I was a cowboy I'd kill someone awful
And bury him out on the ranch
By the light of the evening I'd put up my shovel
And wash all the blood off my hands

But she'd take 'em up in yours as if they aren't stained
C'mon cowboy, c'mon cowboy
Say you wouldn't have it any other way
C'mon cowboy, c'mon cowboy
Barely there when you're begging me to stay
Come on cowboy, can't leave now boy just
Ride this out like a good old cowboy

Come on cowboy, come on cowboy
Come on cowboy, come on cowboy
Come on cowboy, come on cowboy
Come on cowboy, come on now

She said, "I don't need a cowboy
I need my best friend who loves me as best as he can"
"But if you wanna play cowboy
You can ride off like Pancho and lose some beautiful plans"
