Cowboy On My Corner
Take a look here at this cowboyOn the corner of my streetWell partner, are you just gonna stand thereOr start to move your feetYeah, he looks about as slow as the windIn the Arizona heat
I got places I oughta beHe’s standing in my wayAnd I bet he lost his mapThree towns back todaySomething ’bout his grinThat makes me wanna speed away
Take it easy, cowboyDon’t make too much of thisI only slowed a secondThough I might’ve blown a kissTake it easy, strangerMaybe we’ll meet againAnd just like that, my boyI’m off into the wind
Now I know when a man is lookingAnd honey, you were staring hardLike you’d never seen a womanWho could catch you off your guardI let the engine rumbleWhile you tried to play it coolThen gave you just enough of a smileTo make you feel the fool
Take it easy, cowboyDon’t go losing your headYou can dream up what might’ve happenedIf I’d stopped there insteadTake it easy, strangerThat’s all you’re gonna getA smile, a dust cloudAnd a girl you won’t forget
I never gave that boy much thoughtOnce he was out of sightHad better things to think aboutBy the time I got home that nightBut funny how a passing glanceCan travel mighty farSome stranger on a cornerWrote a song about meWhile drinking beerIn my favorite bar
Well, I’ll be damned
Take it easy, cowboyGuess you remembered meYou turned a passing momentInto your own mythologyYou thought I slowed to meet youWell, that ain’t quite the score
You were blocking up my streetAnd I was drivingDaddy’s flatbed Ford
