Momma said this is a loaded gun
And that boy was born to run
Don't fall in love on a whim
Baby girl don't follow him
But have you ever seen red, red river
Next to his blue, blue eyes
Have you ever felt the heat of his touch
Underneath the Texas Sky
You keep telling me to wait
Cowboys don't change
Don't give my heart away, eh-ay
To a John Wayne
Momma watched the setting sun
Take away the one she loved
Said that's what they were made to do
But baby girl I want more for you
But have you ever seen red, red river
Next to his blue, blue eyes
Have you ever felt the heat of his touch
Underneath the Texas Sky
You keep telling me to wait
Cowboys don't change
Don't give my heart away, eh-ay
N.C.
It'd probably take my whole life
To hang the saddle and just be mine
But to me it ain't wasted time
Have you ever seen red, red river
Next to his blue, blue eyes
Have you ever felt the heat of his touch
Underneath the Texas Sky
You keep telling me to wait
Cowboys don't change
Don't give my heart away, eh-ay
To a John Wayne
Don't give my heart away, eh-ay
To a John Wayne
