Verse I 
A 
I can see you got your eye on this ol' cowboy 
                                         D 
I can tell you've never had one for your own 
            A 
Well you've never been around one 
           F#m 
Now you're thinkin' that you found one 
      E                         A 
And it might be kinda' fun to take him home 
 
Verse II 

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 her's 

Buckles, boots, and spurs 

But that's a feelin' you'd get over overnight 
 
Chorus 
       D                          A 
'Cause what you gonna' do with a cowboy? 
D                               A 
When that ol' rooster crows at dawn 
          D 
When he's lyin' there instead 
    F#m 
Of getting' out of bed                    (Not so sure)  
E                                          A D A E D=> 
And puttin' on his boots and getting' gone. 
    ( D )                               A 
And what you gonna do when he says, "Honey." 
D                  A 
"I got half a mind to stay." 
D                         F#m 
What you gonna do with a cowboy 
     E                             A 
When he don't saddle up and ride away 
 
Verse III 

Well 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 
 
Verse IV 

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

You'd be better off tryin' to rope the wind 

Cause what he is is what you've got 

And he can't be what he's not 

And honey, you can't hide him from your friends
