I don't know why I act the way I do,
Like I ain't got a single thing to lose.
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy,
I guess that's just the cowboy in me.
I've got a life that most would love to have,
But sometimes I still wake up fighting mad,
At where this road I'm heading down might lead,
I guess that's just the cowboy in me.
CHORUS:
The urge to run, the restlessness,
The heart of stone I sometimes get,
The things I've done for foolish pride,
The me that's never satisfied,
The face that's in the mirror
When I don't like what I see,
I guess that's just the cowboy in me.
Girl, I know there's times you must have thought,
There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed,
But you set your mind to see this love on through,
I guess that's just the cowboy in you.
We ride and never worry about the fall,
I guess that's just the cowboy in us all.
