From the recording In This Country
Lyrics
[Intro]
In a crowded room, heads all turn her way
It's just another night, another heart she'll play
She's painting sunsets with a Gypsy’s' charm
While the city's lights guide her with open arms
[Verse]
Every whispered word hangs on like a melody
She's got those eyes that are more than a memory
In the moonlight glow, she moves with grace
But the love she gives is just a fleeting embrace
[Pre-Chorus]
She’s too beautiful to be lonely for long
Underneath the stars, she’s singing that sweet song
Boys line up, thinking they’ll do no wrong
But with a smile, she’ll just move right along
[Chorus]
Every cowboy thinks he’ll be her last dance
But she’s living life like a rodeo romance
Through the dust and the sparks, in a fleeting chance
Heartbreak hits hard, but still take that stance
[Verse]
With every goodbye, there's a story told
Another heart for the keepsake, another to mold
And the boys, they try, but it's a losing race
She dances right out of their eager embrace
[Chorus]
Every cowboy thinks he’ll be her last dance
But she’s living life like a rodeo romance
Through the dust and the sparks, in a fleeting chance
Heartbreak hits hard, but still take that stance
[Bridge]
She's a wildflower in a world of stone
Can't be tamed, she’ll never call one place home
Every lonesome night, she'll chase that sunrise
Leaving dust trails in those big, starry skies
[Pre-Chorus]
She’s too beautiful to be lonely for long
Underneath the stars, she’s singing that sweet song
Boys line up, thinking they’ll do no wrong
But with a smile, she’ll just move right along
[Final Chorus]
Every cowboy thinks he’ll be her last dance
But she’s living life like a rodeo romance
Through the dust and the sparks, in a fleeting chance
Heartbreak hits hard, but still take that stance
Heartbreak hits hard, but still take that stance
