Well you can rope a cowboy,
but you can't tie him down.
You can rope a cowboy,
but you can't tie him down,
Cowgirl be warned,
The truth that I have found,
You might rope a cowboy,
but you can't tie him down.
If he has a untamed heart,
And he's hell bound.
Sometime in the dark,
He will play around,
Put up that dress of white,
Put away that wedding gown.
You might rope a cowboy,
But you can't tie him down.
He'll put on his hat,
and ride off into the sunset,
He may someday look back,
with bittersweet regret.
as the wind cries it's lonely sound.
Riding that lonesome prairie,
With his ole faithful hound.
Once I roped a cowboy,
But I coulden';t tie him down.
