Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I drive around this town in a Mustang with the top down
And six running horses under my hood
Well, that’s good enough for me, don’t need the real thing
That’s just another thing for me to try to tame
Don’t know if I could, it might just break me
I thought there for a little while
Every sunset, I’d be riding off with him
[Chorus]
Snap buttons on a denim shirt, blue jeans and a little dirt
That’s the closest you’ll see me
Feet hanging out a pickup truck
Crazy and a little rough, running free
That’s the closest to a cowboy you’ll see me
[Verse 2]
Before I met him I was so sane and grounded
Before he taught me how to lie and crawl out the window
I learned the dirt roads and I got my heart broken
'Cause that cowboy taught me how to cry and how to let go
I thought there for a little while
Every sunset, I’d be riding off with him
[Chorus]
Snap buttons on a denim shirt, blue jeans and a little dirt
That’s the closest you’ll see me
Feet hanging out a pickup truck
Crazy and a little rough, running free
That’s the closest to a cowboy you’ll see me
[Bridge]
It was all a little wonderful and strange
But I’ll never look at a sunset the same night
[Chorus]
Snap buttons on a denim shirt, blue jeans and a little dirt
That’s the closest you’ll see me
Feet hanging out a pickup truck, crazy and a little rough, running free
Sitting fishing by the river bank, swimming in the water tank
That’s the closest you’ll see me
Feet hanging out a pickup truck, crazy and a little rough
Running free, that’s the closest to a cowboy you’ll see me
