I tried the clean cut, but I had to cut that off

I had the bad boy, but he wasn′t bad enough

I tried the big city broker, but I broke his heartI tried the rock pop super, and the football star

But none of them could keep up with me

No, none of them was my cup of tea

Now I only date cowboys with the hat and boots

That can backup a trailer like his truck's on cruise

Kind of cowboy with a wild west heart

If you ain′t the Marlboro man, then it's no cigar

Take a couple moves from John Wayne

Learn a thing or two from Jesse James

'Cause I only date cowboys

I′ll make it easy and spell it out for you

I need a C, need an O, need a W

Kind of boy, makin′ noise, with his bottle of jack

I'm talkin′ Billy Rae style with his horse in the back

'Cause I only date cowboys with the hat and boots

That can backup a trailer like his truck′s on cruise

Kind of cowboy with a wild west heart

If you ain't the Marlboro man, then it′s no cigar

Take a couple moves from John Wayne

Learn a thing or two from Jesse James

'Cause I only date cowboys

I'm into rodeo wrangler raised

Stuck with the six-shooter locked and aimed

I only date cowboys with the hat and boots

That can backup a trailer like his truck′s on cruise

Kind of cowboy with a wild west heart

If you ain′t the Marlboro man, then it's no cigar

Take a couple moves from John Wayne

Learn a thing or two from Jesse James

′Cause I only date cowboys
