What would I do if I should ever lose you.
Am g am
It would take a mighty big cowboy to fill your shoes.


We were young and wild and determined to be together
Against all odds, we've had our share of rocky weather
Given a choice I would still choose you.
It would take a mighty big cowboy to fill your shoes.

It would take............a mighty big cowboy
It would take a mighty big man to thrill me the way you do.
Have you seen a cowboy ten feet tall
With a heart the size of the Taj Mahal
That's what I would need if I ever were to lose you
It would take a might big cowboy to fill your shoes.


You have a heart of gold with a cool gentle spirit
Who always loved me so, sometimes I couldn't believe it.
Now I'm so glad to be growing old with you...
It would take a mighty big cowboy to fill your shoes.

It would take............a mighty big cowboy
It would take a mighty big man to thrill me the way you do.
Have you seen a cowboy ten feet tall
With a heart the size of the Taj Mahal
That's what I would need if I ever were to lose you
It's true......so true
What would I ever do if I should lose you
It would take a might big cowboy to fill your shoes.
It would take a might big cowboy to fill your shoes.
