Cowboy Romance Lyrics - Tigerlily - Natalie Merchant

It's a Saturday afternoon romance 

Between a cowboy and a fool and a fool 

A drunken meet up 

In a crude saloon 

A poor rocky mountain town 

He's a scoundrel and she's no pearl 

And together they are two lovers cruel 

Got her balanced on his knee 

He knows exactly what to say 

"You ain't been born till you get out of town 

And honey you might come with me 

You might come with me" 

If you do, if you do, if you do, and if you do 

Spare the innocent ones 

I'll take you with me 

And together we will be drifters free 

Got her tangled in his arm 

She's a lusting, trusting fool 

No man born can rule me that I've sworn 

But stranger if you do 

I'll belong to you 

If you do, if you do, if you do, and if you do 

Would you spare the innocent ones 

Would you take me with you? 

Can you love the land and love me too? 

As he grows sober 

Sees his love anew 

In morning light so true 

He gets on the move 

On the move
