And Jenny looks out the window with a smile
And you know how it is when youre just a kid
And hes chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
And they had a little boy and they started life
She started talking about her dream guy
And hes chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
Little man running 'round out back
No, hes a cowboy
In a little blue house at the end of the street
But Jenny didn't even to lie when
Hes a cowboy
What kind of guy theyre gonna marry one day
Hes a cowboy
Hes made of that stuff that dont let you down, boy
Hes got a painted pony with a flowing mane
Yeah, hes a cowboy
Hes a cowboy, riding the range
Hes got a painted pony with a flowing mane
Her friends ask her what her daddy did
And he dont go running away when it gets tough
With a stick horse and a little red hat
At the way life works when you give it a while
What theyre gonna do when they graduate
Jenny just lied and told em'
She couldn't tell 'em she didn't know so
Hes made of that stuff that dont let you down, boy
And hes chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
And all of her friends said the usual stuff
Mike ran off 4 years ago and now her little boy is 5 years old
And he dont go running away when it gets tough
No, hes a cowboy
You know, doctors and lawyers and bankers and such
Hes made of that stuff that dont let you down, boy
It was her and her mom and her parakeet Pete
10 years later after a pillow fight
No, hes a cowboy
And he dont go running away when it gets tough
Well Jenny and her friends got to talking 'bout life
Jenny married a guy named Mike
Hes a cowboy, riding the range
Hes got a painted pony with a flowing mane
Hes a cowboy, riding the range
