Just a Young Cowboy

I would like to ask you to dance
But I'm a little shy
I would like to call you baby
An' look you in the eye

I'll bet you that we could two-step
An' have a real good time
An' I could write you a poem
An' say some words that rhyme

I could teach you to ride a hoss
Then gaze at stars above
Smell that fresh mountain air at night
An' talk of things like love

But then I'm just a young cowboy
An' I don't know such things
Still I'd like to call you baby
An' see if that song sings
