I Like Your Style

I Like Your Style

Met her in a little border town somewhere south of here.
She said"If you're a cowboy, you could buy me a beer." 
I said," I'll buy you rubies just to see you smile." 
"Yessir, you're a cowboy and I like your style." 
She had that look as if she'd known a few, 
But she still looked soft and gentle, too. 
I fell in love there on the spot, 
How it would end I cared not. 
Next morn the sun arose -
She'd been one of those 
For she was gone.
Just moved on - 
I'm still
Here

Marvelously entertaining and delightful. I FAVE'd this one for its humour and real successful COWBOY flavour. Congrats on your silver medal finish, Larry.
