G                       G7 
I can see you got your eye on this old cowboy, 
            G                    G7           C 
and I can tell you ve never had one for your own, 
                        C7 
Or you ve never been around one, 
               G                 E7 
now you re thinkin that you ve found one, 
          A                              D 
Well it might be kinda fun to take him home. 
       G          G7              G 
You giggle every time that I say yes ma am 
                       G7             C 
and I get this feelin if I held you tight, 
                        C7 
You d be seein his and hers, 
   G                E7 
buckles boots and spurs, 
                A                D         G 
But that s a feelin you ll get over overnight.
[Chorus]
        C                       G 
Cause whatcha gonna do with a cowboy 
 C               C7              G 
when that old rooster crows at dawn, 
           C            C7 
When he s lyin there instead, 
      G            E7 
of getttin out of bed 
     A              A7               D   E  F  G 
and puttin on his boots and gettin gone, 
  C                             G 
What you gonna do when he says honey 
 C         C7             G 
I ve got half a mind to stay, 
 C              C7        G  E7 
What you gonna do with a cowboy, 
      A               D            G 
when he don t saddle up and ride away.

G                        G7           G 
You can see it takes a special kinda woman 
   G                           C 
to put with the life a cowboy leads, 
C                           C7 
Cause his boots are always muddy, 
          G           E7 
and his beer drinkin buddies 
       A                                D 
will camp out on your couch and never leave, 
G                  G7                     G 
Don t even start to think you re gonna change him, 
G                       G7               C 
you d be better off to try and rope the wind, 
C                            C7 
What you see is what you've got, 
        G                 E7 
and he can t be what he s not 
     A               D                   G 
and honey you can t hide him from your friends.
[Chorus]
        C                       G 
Cause whatcha gonna do with a cowboy 
 C               C7              G 
when that old rooster crows at dawn, 
           C            C7 
When he s lyin there instead, 
      G            E7 
of getttin out of bed 
     A              A7               D   E  F  G 
and puttin on his boots and gettin gone, 
  C                             G 
What you gonna do when he says honey 
 C         C7             G 
I ve got half a mind to stay, 
 C              C7        G  E7 
What you gonna do with a cowboy, 
      A               D            G  F#  F  E 
when he don t saddle up and ride away. 
     A               D             G 
when he don t saddle up and ride away.
