Will you be my cowboy, to ride with me tonight
Upon the saddle of a stallion, I'll be feeling right
Just be my cowboy and lasso in my heart
Wrap your rope around it and never let it part

Will you be my cowboy with a real hat and boots
A gun in your holster that really sometimes shoots
Please be my cowboy and lets ride all night long
In the saddle with you is where I do belong

We'll ride into the sunset and watch the sun set down
And build a campfire at night when we sleep upon the ground
A real live cowboy who knows all about the west
Just be my cowboy is all I can request

I just want to fall in love with a cowboy like you
One who knows all the things a cowboy has to do
Just to have a cowboy will make me happy as can be
To bring out this cowgirl who's down inside of me
