I Loved A Cowboy

1. I loved a cowboy
I loved his cowboy ways
I loved his sky-blue eyes
Those cold November days
He'd walk across the field
And I could see his breath
And I swear I heard his heart
Beating inside his chest.

[Chorus:]
And those nights spent in two-horse towns
Pick-up trucks and country bars
Those nights were like blankets
Like movies
Like falling. .. like falling. .. stars.

2. Well I loved this cowboy
More than I should admit
More than I knew was right
But I got real used to it
I would go out ridin'
For two weeks at a time
And I knew the only lonely heart
Was never his, only mine.

3. When I thought about it
Some loves are compromise
Some loves burn bright and fast and die
Some loves are all on one side
So I left this cowboy
I left on New Year's Day
It was my resolution
I just up and rode away.
