There were signs all over town, come see the rodeo When I saw those fairground lights shining, I knew I had to go There were bulls and wild horses, barrels and clowns Rhinestones and glitter sparkling, and cowboys all around But there was one, that I never will forget Chorus He was wild, as a tumble weed rolling, Restless like a river running free And when he smiled, I knew my heart would be broken He was gonna leave that's the cowboy guarantee That night we got together, we drove out to the lake Beneath the stars and Texas moonlight, I gave my heart away But you can't tame a river, and I wouldn't want to try Cause it was worth all the hurtin to know that for one night I was loved, like I'd never been before Chorus Chorus 'Cause a cowboy is a cowboy, and he's always gonna be That's the cowboy guarantee That's the cowboy guarantee (repeat and fade)
