a cowboy and a dancer

i was thumbing my way outta san antone

saddle on my back

my raybans on

a dusty old cowboy hat

scuffed up jeans

when a tourqoise elderado with horns on the hood

slowed down to help me out like i hoped someone would

she was peeling an apple

driving with one

she said

hey cowboy

where's your horse

i said

i lost everything but this saddle in my second divorce

and if you don't mind

i'll keep the rest to myself

she said she'd put herself through college wearing high heels

dancing every night for a garter belt full of bills

just wasn't the broadway she dreamed about

and if i didn't mind

she'd keep the rest to herself

a cowboy and a dancer

leaving texas in the rearview mirror

searching for some answers

a cowboy and a dancer

by the time we reached the arizona line

we were peaking at each other out of the corner of our eyes

the sun was setting low and love was on the wind

we stopped in tuscan to get some sleep

ended up sharing the backseat to catch a couple of winks

and if you don't mind

i'll keep the rest to myself

a cowboy and a dancer

leaving texas in the rearview mirror

searching for some answers

a cowboy and a dancer

we were holding hands as we reached the california coast

a new wind in our sails we're making the most

so the story goes

all's well that ends well

and if you don't mind

i'll keep the rest to myself

i was thumbing my way outta san antone
