Uncommon Cowboy

It’s easy to love a cowboy
I’ve loved a cowboy one too many times
I’m afraid I’ll fall for another
I wish there was another kind
I want a cowboy who’s home on the range
He’ll ride ‘em, and rope ‘em
He’ll never change
He’ll be like every cowboy
What sets him apart
That uncommon cowboy won’t break my heart
A cowboy’s hands are worn and weathered
They smell like smoke and leather all the time
I’ve tried and tried but I can’t ever
Get cowboys off my mind
I want a cowboy who knows how to ride
He’ll sit high in the saddle until the day that he dies
He’ll be like every cowboy
What sets him apart
That uncommon cowboy won’t break my heart
I could move to the city
And find a man who wears a coat and tie
His hands will be soft and pretty
But I would be living a lie
I want a cowboy who sleeps under the stars
And serenades his doggies
With his old guitar
He’ll be like every cowboy
What sets him apart
That uncommon cowboy won’t break my heart
That uncommon cowboy won’t break my heart

A Kinder Man

If there’s a word to define me
It hasn’t been invented yet
I’m well aware what’s behind me
I’m one step ahead of the net
I don’t want another bronco rider
Or an afterhours highway man
No Four Roses drinking saloon fighter
I’ve had all them I can stand
I’m lookin’ for a kinder man
In the face of danger
I look so composed
They’re all thinking “I can change her”
But I have some tricks of my own
I don’t want another bronco rider
Or an afterhours highway man
No Four Roses drinking saloon fighter
I’ve had all them I can stand
I’m lookin’ for a kinder man
The longing and the wait
Is more than I can take
And I’m afraid, I might never find you
I don’t want another bronco rider
Or an afterhours music man
No Four Roses drinking saloon fighter
I’ve had all them I can stand
I’m lookin’ for a kinder man
I want a kinder man
He won’t bark, he won’t bite
He’ll know how to love me right
Lay me down in cotton sheets
Love me till the angels weep
He’ll have a gentle hand
A kinder man

Lost My Heart in Dallas
03:43

I lost sunglasses in Lampasas
And a shoe in San Antone
A diamond earring out in Lubbock
And in Sugar Land my phone
I’ve lost stuff in lots of places
None of its tearing me apart
Not like the time I went to Dallas
That’s where I lost my heart
His eyes were greener than the water
In the Corpus Christi Bay
He twirled me out onto the dance floor
We could have waltzed across the state
He kissed me underneath a full moon
Rising over Highland Park
That’s where it happened
That’s where I lost my heart
Who’s to blame, it’s a lover’s game
I endure the pain to fan the flame
If it’s all the same I’d do it all again
And take my chance on love
I lost my innocence in Fort Worth
That’s where he said goodbye
Somewhere south of Corsicana
I had myself a real good cry
I’ve lost stuff in lots of places
None of it’s tearing me apart
Not like the time I went to Dallas
That’s where I lost my heart
Who’s to blame, it’s a lover’s game
I endure the pain to fan the flame
If it’s all the same I’d do it all again
And take my chance on love
I lost sunglasses in Lampasas
And a shoe in San Antone
A diamond earring out in Lubbock
And in Sugar Land my phone
I’ve lost stuff in lots of places
None of it’s tearing me apart
Not like the time I went to Dallas
That’s where I lost my heart
I've lost stuff in lots of places
None of it’s tearing me apart
Not like the time I went to Dallas

Sweetheart of Your Rodeo

You live your life in 8 seconds flat
Most days you end up busted and, on your back,
You never give a second thought to where you’re at
Could you ever love somebody more than that
I wanna be the sweetheart of your rodeo
Yippie ki ya, Yippie ki yi, Yippie ki yo
You roll into town a few times a year
With your busted up pickup and second-hand gear
You whisper all those pretty things I long to hear
Will there ever be a day when you’re sincere
I wanna be the sweetheart of your rodeo
Yippie ki ya, Yippie ki yi, Yippie ki yo
When the lights go down
And the crowds have all gone home
You’re tired of the road and being alone
You always seem to find me
And I always to let you in
Over and over again
And again, and again
I wanna be the sweetheart of your rodeo
Yippie ki ya, Yippie ki yi, Yippie ki yo
I wanna be the sweetheart of your rodeo
Yippie ki ya, Yippie ki yi, Yippie ki yo
