Cowboy and a Dancer Songtext
von Kevin Denney

I was thumbing my way outta San Antone
Saddle on my back, and my RayBan on
Dusty old cowboy hat, scuffed up jeans
When a turquoise El Dorado with horns on the hood
Slowed down to help me out like I hoped someone would
She was peeling an apple, driving with one knee
She said, "Hey cowboy, where′s your horse?"
I said, "I lost everything but this saddle in that divorce"
"And if you don't mind, I′ll keep the rest to myself"

She said she'd put herself in college wearing high heels
Dancing every night for a garter belt full of bills
Just wasn't the Broadway she dreamed about
And if I didn′t mind, she′d keep the rest to herself


A cowboy and a dancer
Leaving Texas in the rearview mirror
Searching for some answers
A cowboy and a dancer

By the time we reached the Arizona line
We were peaking at each other out of the corner of our eyes
Sun was setting low, love was on the wind
We stopped in Tuscan to get some sleep
Ended up sharing the backseat to catch a couple of winks
If you don't mind, I′ll keep the rest to myself

A cowboy and a dancer
Leaving Texas in the rearview mirror
Searching for some answers
A cowboy and a dancer

We were holding hands as we reached the California coast
With a new wind in our sails, we're making the most
As the story goes, "All′s well that ends well"
And if you don't mind, I′ll keep the rest to myself
I was thumbing my way outta San Antone
