Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Well, I'm sittin' on this front porch, watchin' the sun go down,
Sweet tea in my hand, and my heart feelin' worn out.
You've been out with the boys, chasin' dreams and stars,
But, honey, I've been waitin' here, wonderin' where you are.
You used to call me baby, now it feels so cold,
You're slippin' away, boy, and it's startin' to get old.
(Chorus)
Step it up, cowboy, let me feel that flame,
Show me I'm your only, not just some old game.
I ain't askin' for much, just a heart on fire,
Step it up, cowboy, take me higher and higher.
(Verse 2)
Sweet nothin's faded, now it's just dead air,
Feels like I'm dancin' with a ghost that ain't there.
Once your touch lit me up like a wildfire blaze,
Now I'm left searchin' through the smoke and haze.
I won't keep holdin' on to a love half-gone,
Either spark it back up, or I'll be movin' on.
(Chorus)
Step it up, cowboy, let me feel that flame,
Show me I'm your only, not just some old game.
I ain't askin' for much, just a heart on fire,
Step it up, cowboy, take me higher and higher.
(Bridge)
I ain't here to beg, I won't sit and cry,
You either ride beside me, or I'll say goodbye.
Look me in the eye, show me where you stand,
Be my forever cowboy, or just a drifting man.
(Verse 3)
Remember all those nights with the stars shining bright,
Dancin' in the moonlight, everything felt right.
I want that spark back, ignite that flame,
Stop treatin' me like I'm just some old game.
You're my one and only, I need you to see,
Give a little love, and it'll set us both free.
(Chorus)
Step it up, cowboy, let me feel that flame,
Show me I'm your only, not just some old game.
I ain't askin' for much, just a heart on fire,
Step it up, cowboy, take me higher and higher.
(Outro)
So step it up, cowboy, don't make me ride away,
One last chance to love me right -- or watch me stray.
