TOOK A COWBOY
By Suzanne Todd & David O. Cooper

It took a cowboy to say don’t saddle up if you can't ride
And you’ll learn more from failure than you will if you don’t try
But this cowboy’s cotton-soft heart and calloused hands
Love me as I am

(‘Cause) You never know how many
More rides ‘on the range
We have left to love together
’Til we hand over the reins
When legacy and memories
Are what we leave behind
Showing me what matters most in life
Took a cowboy

It took a cowboy, wild but faithful, gentle man
Who appreciates his Hank and Strait, Yet loves my Steely Dan
It took a cowboy to brand my desires like he did
Cause, there’s no other one I’d rather ride a storm out with

CH

His boots never walked away
From somethin’ that needed fixin’
But his horse returned that day
empty saddled, partner missin’

(‘Cause) You never know how many
More rides ‘on the range
We have left to love together
’Til we hand over the reins
When legacy and memories
Are what we leave behind
Showing me what mattered most in life
Took a cowboy
