There were signs all over town
Come see the rodeo
And 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 sparklin'
And cowboys around
But there was one I never will forget

He was wild as a tumbleweed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
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

He was wild as a tumbleweed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be
Broken
He was gonna leave, That's the cowboy guarantee

He was wild as a tumbleweed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be
Broken
He was gonna leave, That's the cowboy guarantee
