Lyrics
COWBOY DREAMIN'
THERE'S A JUKE BOX IN THE CORNER AND SAWDUST ON THE FLOOR, AND ALL THE WEEKEND COWGIRLS ARE COMIN' IN THE DOOR.
THEY'RE TURNIN' UP THE MUSIC AND TURNIN' DOWN THE LIGHTS, AND IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT WILL BE ANOTHER CRAZY NITE.
I'M CHECKIN OUT THE COWGIRLS AS THEY COME THROUGH THE DOOR AND THERE MIGHT BE TWO OR THREE THAT I AIN'T SEEN BEFORE.
BUT BEFORE THE NITE IS OVER, I'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT, THERE'S A HUNDRED UNTOLD STORIES UNDER THIS TEN GALLON HAT.
CHORUS: IF I'M DREAMIN' PLEASE DON'T WAKE ME, JUST LET ME THINK IT'S REAL, I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE A THING, I LIKE THE WAY I FEEL.
THE MUSIC AND THE DANCIN' MAKE ME FEEL SO FREE, IF I DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN, THIS IS JUST WHAT IT WOULD BE.
THIS PLACE IS ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES AND IT SMELLS LIKE STALE OLD BEER, NO JACKET IS REQUIRED, IT'S BOOTS AND BLUE JEANS HERE.
SOMETIMES IT GETS A LITTLE WILD, BUT NOONE SEEMS TO MIND, WE LET IT ALL HANG OUT HERE, BENEATH THE NEON SIGN.
REPEAT CHORUS:
