Riding the Range With You

The first time we danced I knew I was hooked 
My palms were sweaty, my brain was cooked 
I breathed only you as you captured my mind 
I’ll love you forever even if you go blind 
I can feel your body, soft as silk in hand 
I’m stuck on your love like I’m in quicksand 
Rescue me darling, I’ll be your cowhand 
Let’s ride the range and make our last stand
Roping and riding and shouting whoopee 
You’re bringing out that cowboy inside of me 
You’re packing the heat that sets me on fire 
So cool me down honey cause I’m a live wire 
Bedding down outdoors as the sun sinks low 
Your lips are on fire even as the cool wind blows 
Let’s make a night of it and let the good times roll 
And I got a pencil so we can keep score 
Nobody’s perfect except you of course 
And I love it each time you sway on that horse 
Your movements can make a good man go bad 
I’m ready for launch from my launching pad
Your movements are perfect you’re a number ten 
So let’s love away the night until dawn begins 
Riding and shooting and chasing the wind 
Then let’s turn around and do it all again
