Intro: (x2) verse 1 I'm out here chasin' these rainbows that I need to find, I go and Lord knows it kills me to leave her behind, She drew a low card when she gave me her heart, And sometimes it's hard to believe, That sweet little angel went and got herself tangled (1 upward strum) In the arms of a cowboy like me Well I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights, Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale life, And every time I head home I think I'll find her gone, But she's still there and still wants to be, In the arms of a cowboy like me verse 2 She's worn a hole in the carpet between the bed and the phone, She worries about me when I leave ‘til I'm back home, Cause there's down time for killin' there's whiskey and there's women, That's just right for feelin' a need, Oh but she's in no danger there's no room for a stranger, In the arms of a cowboy like me I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights, Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale life, Every time I head home I think I'll find her gone, But she's still there and still wants to be, In the arms of a cowboy like me Instrumental Yeah every time I head home I think I'll find her gone, But she's still there and still wants to be, In the arms of a cowboy like me, The arms of a cowboy like me A Cowboy like me
