A Cowboy's Ways Lyrics - Dolly Parton

Sometimes he gets crazy as men are known to do 

He'll lose his head in spite of everything he stands to lose 

What is it in a man that makes him act like such a fool 

She swears she never knew but always needed to. 

But stubborn pride is just the way of cowboys I suppose 

Even love can't change the things he ought to change the most 

And it's pride that keeps him standing when he should be on his knees 

Makin' apologies but she loves him desperately. 

Oh, but now and again she wished he'd been a poet 

So he'd know all the perfect lines to say 

And have some great romantic way to show it 

Be the hero ridin' up to save the day.

And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor 

To sweep her up and carry her away 

Oh, but he don't have no magic ways to charm her 

No, 'cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways. 

"I love you" and "I'm sorry" are words that just don't come 

'Cause words like that are no match for the kind that rule his tongue 

But his eyes keep tellin' her you know I love you anyway 

No matter what I say or what I never say. 

Oh, but now and again she wished he'd been a poet 

So he'd know all those fancy lines to say 

And have some great romantic way to show it 

Be the hero ridin' up to save the day. 

And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor 

And sweep her up and carry her away 

Oh, but he don't have no magic ways to charm her 

No, 'cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways.

His ways seem cold but she knows he's much warmer 

But even love can't change a cowboy's ways.

He's just a fool that must defend his honor 

But even love can't change a cowboy's ways...
