Lyrics
Designer boots and city eyes that roll at every lie
Thought cowboys were just Hollywood and Marlboro ads
Small town Texas couldn't show me nothin' I ain't had
GPS said "turn left here" but I almost turned around
'Til I saw him by the diner in this dusty little town
Hat tipped low, jeans worn right, leaning on his truck
Something in his quiet smile stopped me cold
Didn't believe in cowboys, thought they were TV lies
Just boots and belt buckles and those cheesy pickup lines
But he said "ma'am" real gentle, held the door with style
Now I'm dreamin' 'bout that drawl and his easy smile
Didn't believe in cowboys 'til one believed in me
He don't text me twenty times or play those dating games
Just shows up when he says he will, never needs to explain
Teaches me to two-step slow beneath the neon lights
Way he holds me close feels different than the guys
Never thought a man could make me feel this safe and wild
With calloused hands and honest words
Didn't believe in cowboys, thought they were TV lies
Just boots and belt buckles and those cheesy pickup lines
But he said "ma'am" real gentle, held the door with style
Now I'm dreamin' 'bout that drawl and his easy smile
Didn't believe in cowboys 'til one believed in me
Now I'm trading coffee shops for morning rides at dawn
Swapping subway sounds for meadowlarks' sweet song
He don't need to say forever, I can see it in his eyes
Sometimes fairy tales wear Wranglers as disguise
Didn't believe in cowboys, thought love was just a game
'Til he tipped his hat and whispered out my name
Now I know what I've been missing in that concrete city life
Maybe I was meant to be this cowboy's wife
Didn't believe in cowboys 'til one made me believe
Yeah, didn't believe in cowboys 'til one made me believe
