Dolly Parton - A Cowboy's Ways lyrics

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
