Anita Cochran

Staring out my window, who is that I see

He sure does look familiar, and he's wearing boots and jeans

Can't tell you were I saw him, was it on a late night screen

A cowboy in this city's something I ain't never seen

He's knockin' on the door of my two two room flat

Do I let him in, what I would give to love a man like that


Chorus:

He walks that western walk, he talks that southern talk

He rides the rodeo, he comes from San Antonio

He's drivin' a big ole cadillac

Hey, I could love a man like that

Yes, I could love a man like that


He takes me by the hand as he leads me out the door

I say "Good-Bye ole city, I won't be back here no more"

Well I moved here from the country, thought I'd try and get ahead

Oh but every road I've taken's headed other ways instead

But I've packed up my belongings, and he's handing me the keys

I'm headed to the Mountains with the man of my dreams


(Chorus)


Bridge:

Now you may think im crazy, but I just can't explain

There's something about a cowboy that drives this girl insane


(repeat Chorus)

Get the keys to the car, fill it up with gas
Go down to the bank and pull out a little cash
Forget about the yard, forget about the trash
Let's get a little sun
cause it's 5 o'clock and the whistle blows
I've been working overtime eight days in a row
Grab a change of clothes and get ready, let's go
And have a little fun.
Good times, it's a good time to let the good times roll
Mile after mile, smile after smile
Headin' down the line
Hey we're having good times
Let's not worry about things gone bad
cause life's too good to live so sad
Worn down, torn down, tired and trapped
Hey forget about that
Good times, it's a good time to let the good times roll
Mile after mile, smile after smile
Headin' down the line
Hey we're having good times
Oooh roll down the windows baby, feel the wind blow
Ohh turn up the radio, turn up the radio, hey turn up the radio
Good times, it's a good time to let the good times roll
Mile after mile, smile after smile
Headin' down the line
Hey we're having good times

Momma gives birth to a little child,
Daddy waits, with a patient smile.
They tell him what he's brought into the world,
They all can tell she'll be a daddy's girl.

He hears a voice as she starts to cry,
He looks through the window tears fall from his eyes,
Overwhelmed with the thoughts of the day,
He swears he hears her say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
I've got your hands
Your eyes and your hair
And this thing you call a teddy bear.
I'll do what I can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?

He takes me fishing like I'm one of the guys
No one can break these ties that bind.
We've got a bond that's precious and dear,
And it's stayed the same through all these years.

As I get older and time goes by,
He's got a shoulder if I need to cry,
And when I think that I'm going O.K.,
I look at him and say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
I've got your hands
Your eyes and your hair
And I still hold on to my teddy bear.
I'll do what I can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?

I look to the heavens for some kind of sign,
For you to tell me that I'm doing fine.
And every night when I kneel down to pray,
I wonder if you hear me say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
My life has changed since you went away
And I need to know if I'm doing O.K.
I've done all I can to make you proud
Daddy can you see me now?

Oh I've done all I can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?
