Cowboy Romance

It's a Saturday afternoon romance
between a cowboy and a fool
a drunken meet up
in a crude saloon
a poor Rocky Mountain town
he's a scoundrel and
she's no pearl
together they are two lovers cruel

got her balanced on his knee
he knows exactly what to say

";you ain't been born
til you get out of town
and honey,
you might come with me";

";if you do...
spare the innocent ones
I'll take you with me
together we will be drifters free";

got her tangled in his arm
she's a lusting, trusting fool

";no man born can rule me
that I've sworn
but stranger if you do
I'll belong to you";

";if you do...
would you spare the innocent ones
would you take me with you?
can you love the land
and love me too?";

as he grows sober
sees his love anew
in morning light so true
he gets on the move
on the move
