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've found one

Well it might be kinda fun to take him home



You giggle every time that I say yes ma'am

And I get this feelin' if I held you tight

You'd be seein' his and hers

Buckles boots and spurs

But that's a feelin' you'll get over overnight



'Cause whatcha gonna do with a cowboy

When that old rooster crows at dawn

When he's lyin' there instead of getttin' out of bed

And puttin' on his boots and gettin' gone

What you gonna do when he says honey

I've got half a mind to stay

Whatcha gonna do with a cowboy

When he don't saddle up and ride away



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



Don't even start to think you're gonna change him

You'd be better off to try and rope the wind

What he see is what he's got

And he can't be what he's not

And honey you can't hide him from your friends



'Cause whatcha gonna do with a cowboy

When that old rooster crows at dawn

When he's lyin' there instead of getttin' out of bed

And puttin' on his boots and gettin' gone

Whatcha gonna do when he says honey

I've got half a mind to stay

Whatcha gonna do with a cowboy

When he don't saddle up and ride away

Whatcha gonna do with a cowboy

When he don't saddle up and ride away
