i don't know why i act the way i do

like i ain't got a single thing to lose

sometimes i'm my own worst enemy

i guess that's just the cowboy in me



i got a life that most would love to have

but sometimes i still wake up fightin' mad

at where this road i'm headin' down might leadin'

i guess that's just the cowboy in me



Chorus:

the urge to run

the restlessness

the heart of stone i sometimes get

the thing i've done for foolish pride

the me that's never satisfied

the face that's in the mirror when i don't like what i see

i guess that's just the cowboy in me



repeat chorus



girl, i know there's times you must have thought

there ain't a line you've drawn i haven't crossed

but you set your mind to see this love on through

i guess that's just the cowboy in you



we ride and never worry about the fall

i guess that's just the cowboy in us all
