Jim Collins, Rebecca Lynn Howard Recorded by Jessica Andrews on Now A Asus There were signs all over town, come see the rodeo D When I saw those fairground lights shining, A E I knew I had to go A Asus There were bulls and wild horses, barrels and clowns D A E Rhinestones and glitter sparkling, and cowboys all around F#m D E But there was one, that I never will forget Chorus A E F#m He was wild, as a tumble weed rolling, D A E Restless like a river running free A E F#m And when he smiled, I knew my heart would be broken D He was gonna leave thats the cowboy guarantee That night we got together, we drove out to the lake Beneath the stars and Texas moonlight, I gave my heart away But you cant tame a river, and I wouldnt want to try Cause it was worth all the hurtin to know that for one night I was loved, like Id never been before Chorus Chorus A E F#m D 'Cause a cowboy is a cowboy, and hes always gonna be A D#m Thats the cowboy guarantee A D#m Thats the cowboy guarantee A E F#m D (repeat and fade)
