A Cowboy's Ways

Sometimes he gets crazy as men are known to do
 He'll lose his head in spite of everything he stands to lose
 What is it in a man that makes him act like such a fool
 She swears she never knew but always needed to
 But stubborn pride is just the way of cowboys I suppose
 Even love can't change the things he ought to change the most
 And it's pride that keeps him standing when he should be on his knees
 Makin' apologies but she loves him desperately
 Oh, but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
 So he'd know all the perfect lines to say
 And have some great romantic way to show it
 Be the hero ridin' up to save the day.
 And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
 To sweep her up and carry her away
 Oh, but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
 No, 'cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
 "I love you" and "I'm sorry" are words that just don't come
 'Cause words like that are no match for the kind that rule his tongue
 But his eyes keep tellin' her you know I love you anyway
 No matter what I say or what I never say
 Oh, but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
 So he'd know all those fancy lines to say
 And have some great romantic way to show it
 Be the hero ridin' up to save the day
 And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
 And sweep her up and carry her away
 Oh, but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
 No, 'cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
 His ways seem cold but she knows he's much warmer
 But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
 ♪
 He's just a fool that must defend his honor
 But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
