There were three of us city girls
Clothes, shoes, and makeup packed
Heading out for six long weeks
To a real Wyoming ranch
We didn't know what was in store
Did our nails on board the train
Heading for the West with smiles
And Cowboys on the brain
We did not travel far before
We got tired of the ride
Three very spoiled city girls
Agreed that we should fly
We arrived in record time
The Ranch house looked so good
And the Cowboys that came for our bags
We would have jumped them if we could
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Well...they aren't just a kidding
When they say a Cowboy's fine
Took me but a minute
To pick out which one was mine
I even snapped a shot of him
Before he turned to leave
Got a Cowboy strutting in my mind
My heart dancing on my sleeve
~~*~~
The sun hadn't even risen
When that rooster made its noise
The only thing that got us up was
mmm...uh huh...Cowboys
We must have looked quite a sight
Walking down those wooden stairs
But they held in their laughter
Each pulled us out a chair
The red-headed Cowboy said
Ladies you might want to change
You can't wear those fancy dresses
Out there on the range
When we joined them at the stables
In our colored hats and jeans
I heard the brown-haired one snicker
Oh, buddy I see what you mean
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Well...they aren't just a kidding
When they say a Cowboy's fine
Took me but a minute
To pick out which one was mine
I even snapped a shot of him
As he tipped his hat at me
Got a Cowboy strutting in my mind
My heart dancing on my sleeve
~~*~~
We could hardly walk at all
When the horses brought us home
Our pretty hats were brown with dirt
We looked at our hands and moaned
I don't remember eating dinner
And we slept like the dead
When that rooster crowed again
We all swore to wring his neck
We were whining like new prisoners
We talked about going home
The only thing that stopped us was
Mmm...uh huh...Cowboys
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Well...they aren't just a kidding
When they say a Cowboy's fine
Took me but a minute
To pick out which one was mine
I even snapped a shot of him
When he said good morning to me
Got a Cowboy strutting in my mind
My heart dancing on my sleeve
~~*~~
Oh... our six weeks came and went
We're all married women now
We can ride a horse, fix a fence,
Muck a stall, and brand a cow
Now we are all awake and ready
Before that rooster crows
I don't need to tell you why
When you already know
~~*~~
Mmm...uh huh...Cowboys!
What a fun song Teresa, I just smiled so much when I read it. This is great.
