[Verse 1] There's a difference In the Wild, Wild West and a Podunk town There's a difference In a ramblin' man and a boy that's just runnin' around You ain't ridin' in the sunset, boy, you're just jettin' In a Tennessee hat actin' like it's a Stetson [Chorus] But you ain't a cowboy When cowboys head out, boy They turn back around, boy Settle down, boy Come home to the woman they love You ain't nothing like George Strait His kind don't just ride away Lonely, lost on some highway Tryna play Like you've got some old smoking gun But you ain't a cowboy [Verse 2] You think you're an outlaw 'Cause you stay out real latе always stirrin' up trouble But you didn't fool me In your dirty, old Wranglers and your shiny gold bucklе You're still shootin' back shots, guess I dodged a bullet I love you's a trigger, couldn't make yourself pull it [Chorus] 'Cause you ain't a cowboy
When cowboys head out, boy They turn back around, boy Settle down, boy Come home to the woman they love You ain't nothing like George Strait His kind don't just ride away Lonely, lost on some highway Tryna play Like you've got some old smoking gun But you ain't a cowboy [Post-Chorus] You ain't a cowboy You ain't a cowboy No, you ain't [Bridge] There's a difference in stumblin' out and a tumbleweed rollin' There's a difference in just actin' out and rodeoing [Chorus] But you ain't a cowboy When cowboys head out, boy They turn back around, boy Settle down, boy Come home to the woman they love You ain't nothing like George Strait His kind don't just ride away Lonely, lost on some highway Tryna play Like you've got some old smoking gun But you ain't a cowboy [Outro] You ain't a cowboy You ain't a cowboy No, no, you ain't You ain't a cowboy
