A Cowboy's Love

With all my heart I have loved one man 
Wild my heart would beat for him 
But he is gone now and I am not sure I will ever understand 

My mama told me never fall in love with cowboy 
Their hearts are as broken as the soles of their cowboy boots 
And their eyes are as cold as the barrels they shoot 

But it is a cowboy’s love that speak to my heart 
The smell of country air 
And the gentle touch of a strong hand 
But he is gone now I am not sure I will ever understand 

Sunsets and cold mountain mornings are all he cares for now
He travels the lonely roads in Tennessee 
And I am not sure if he will ever love me 
But I will always thee 

My mama said dry your eyes 
she has always been so wise 
For when one love flys south on the wings of a dove 
Comes the promise of new love
