Cowboys ain't easy to love wild as the wind that blows
They'll trade city lights for starry nights that's just how it goes
With dust on their boots and pride in their stance
Every sunset's a call to a new romance
If you can't read his ways or his restless soul
He'll chase the horizon where cowboys roam

You can't tame a cowboy heart
It beats with the rhythm of hooves in the dark
Like a wild mustang he's gotta run free
That's the cowboy way it's meant to be
He'll love you true with all he's got
But a cowboy heart can't be bought

He finds his peace in the break of day
With a loyal horse and endless trails that lead the way
His story's written in campfire light
And freedom's his treasure worth more than gold so bright
You might hold his hand but you can't clip his wings
'Cause a cowboy heart's got to do its thing

You can't tame a cowboy heart
It beats with the rhythm of hooves in the dark
Like a wild mustang he's gotta run free
That's the cowboy way it's meant to be
He'll love you true with all he's got
But a cowboy heart can't be bought

Oh a cowboy heart it's a force of nature
Bound by nothin' but the big blue sky
You can love him fierce but don't try to change him
A cowboy's spirit was born to fly

So if you fall for a cowboy know what's in store
A love as vast as the mesa and deep as the canyon floor
He'll give you his all when he's by your side
But don't ask him to settle it goes against his ride
'Cause a cowboy heart beats wild and strong
And sometimes lovin' means lettin' him move along

You can't tame a cowboy heart
It beats with the rhythm of hooves in the dark
Like a wild mustang he's gotta run free
That's the cowboy way it's meant to be
He'll love you true with all he's got
But a cowboy heart can't be bought
