A Cowboy Like You
Reba McEntire · Other Songs - Reba McEntire
Playing so loud I can hardly hear
And it's telling a story
About a boy like you
And each selection that I make
Tells me how my heart will break
For falling in love
With a cowboy like you
When it's just an old machine
Without a heart but oh so mean
Says I'll probably spend
My whole life, feeling blue, oh
So I'll just put in one more dime
And play that same song one more time
'Cause I want to hear about
A cowboy like you
When now it's just an old machine
Without a heart but oh so mean
Says I'll probably spend
My whole life feeling blue, oh yeah
I guess that I should go on home
But I can't stand to be alone
Cause I'll only dream about
A cowboy like you
Yeah I'll only dream about
A cowboy like you
