Cowboy Like Me Songtext
von Cody Johnson

I got to thinking ′bout all the stuff we worry about
And I realized that all that a man really needs
Is a horse you can catch when you need him
A dog that'll come when you call
A good friend who owns an arena
And a trailer that′s legal to haul
A woman who'll share my frustrations
When the cow market's falling apart
A pair of good spurs, a saddle that fits
And a one ton Ford pick-up that starts
Everything else is window dressing

I′m out here chasing these rainbows that I need to find
I go and Lord knows it kills me to leave her behind
She drew a low card when she gave me her heart
And sometimes it′s hard to believe
That sweet little angel went and got herself tangled
In the arms of a cowboy like me


Well I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights
Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale lie
And every time I head home, I think I′ll find her gone
But she's still there and still wants to be
In the arms of a cowboy like me

She′s worn a hole in the carpet 'tween the bed and the farm
She worries about me when I leave ′til I'm back home
'Cause there′s downtime for killing
There′s whiskey and there's women
It′s just right for filling a need
Oh, but she's in no danger
There′s no room for a stranger
In the arms of a cowboy like me

I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights
Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale lie
Every time I head home, I think I′ll find her gone
But she's still there and still wants to be
In the arms of a cowboy like me

Yeah, every time I head home, I think I'll find her gone
But she′s still there and still wants to be
In the arms of a cowboy like me
In the arms of a cowboy like me
A cowboy like me
