I drive around this town

In a Mustang with the top down

And six running horses under my hood

Well that's good enough for me

Do not need the real thing

That's just another thing

For me to try to tame

Do not know if I could

It might just break me

I thought there for a little while

Every sunset I'd be a riding off with him

Snap buttons on a denim shirt

Blue jeans and a little dirt

That's the closest you'll see me

Feet hanging out a pickup truck

Crazy and a little rough

Running free

That's the closest to a cowboy

You'll see me

Before I met him

I was so sane and grounded

Before he taught me how to lie

And crawled out the window

I learned the dirt roads

And I got my heart broken

Cause that cowboy taught me how to cry

And how to let go

I thought there for a little while

Every sunset I'd be a riding off with him

Snap buttons on a denim shirt

Blue jeans and a little dirt

That's the closest you'll see me

Feet hanging out a pickup truck

Crazy and a little rough

Running free

That's the closest to a cowboy

You'll see me

It was all a little

Wonderful and strange

But I'll never look

At a sunset the same night

Snap buttons on a denim shirt

Blue jeans and a little dirt

That's the closest you'll see me

Feet hanging out a pickup truck

Crazy and a little rough

Running free

Sitting fishing by the river bank

Swimming in the water tank

That's the closest you'll see me

Feet hanging out a pickup truck

Crazy and a little rough

Running free

That's the closest to a cowboy

You'll see me
