Promise Me Cowboys
She had golden hair and a pickup truck
The girl was pullin' a U-Haul trailer
She came home to stay and to change her luck
Just to get shed of a blue eyed sailor
The girl was pullin' a U-Haul trailer
Promises were packed with purpose in mind
Just to get shed of a blue eyed sailor
Who lied and wasn't the marryin' kind
Promises were packed with purpose in mind
Cowboys she knew would replace that young salt
Who lied and wasn't the marryin' kind
Men who rode horses possessed no such fault
Cowboys she knew would replace that young salt
Then she would be free of men who might row
Men who rode horses possessed no such fault
She could just smile again and dance real slow
The girl was pullin' a U-Haul trailer
She came home to stay and to change her luck
Just to get shed of a blue eyed sailor
She had golden hair and a pickup truck
