Cowboy And The Rose Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

He's rugged rough and ready his lady's soft and pretty 

There must be ten years difference in their ages I suppose 

But you don't see any traces or sadness in the faces 

Cause together they're the cowboy and the rose 

Now the lone cowboy shy like a piece of humble pie 

Sips a cup of coffee at the dinner where he goes 

Where he waits on the lady to finish waitin' on the tables 

But together they're the cowboy and the rose 

She's Better Homes and Gardens he's True West magazine 

How they got together the good Lord only knows 

But it's not for a man to question a love that's made in heaven 

And together they're the cowboy and the rose 

[ guitar ] 

Well the lady keeps her distance there ain't much resistance 

From the rednecks and the rounders drinkin' half cups for the road 

Cause a man will meet his maker if he ever tried to take her 

Or come between the cowboy and the rose 

She's Better Homes and Gardens... 

Cause together they're the cowboy and the rose
