I'Ll Sing Her a Song
The first time I saw her
My heart got the wobbles
I could smell her perfume -
My knees got the hobbles
She was walkin' my way
My breathin' got labored
She was wearin' blue jeans
That I've always favored
She said, "You're a cowboy
I can see by your clothes.
My daddy has warned me
To steer clear of all those.
"But you look kinda nice.
Could it be he was wrong?
Can you ride wild horses?
Can you sing me a song?"
I said,"Pretty young miss,
I hate to call him wrong,
But I ride wild hosses
I can sing you a song.
"I'll show you this country
From windmills to fences -
I'll show you the mountains
An' blow all your senses.
"Just come ridin' with me
An' let's see where this goes.
Yes, ma'am, I'm a cowboy
But I'm more than these clothes."
So we will go ridin'
An' she'll see cowboy life.
Hope I ain't just dreamin'
About takin' a wife
But then there's her daddy,
An' to prove that he's wrong
I'll ride some wild hosses -
An' I'll sing her a song.
