Mama said this is a loaded gun And that boy was born to run Don't fall in love on a whim Baby girl don't follow him But have you ever seen a red, red river Next to his blue, blue eyes Have you ever felt the heat of his touch Underneath the Texas sky You keep telling me to wait Cowboys don't change Don't give my heart away to a John Wayne Mama watched the setting sun Take away the one she loved Said that's what they were made to do But baby girl I want more for you But have you ever seen a red, red river Next to his blue, blue eyes Have you ever felt the heat of his touch Underneath the Texas sky You keep telling me to wait Cowboys don't change Don't give my heart away to a John Wayne It'd probably take my whole life To hang the saddle and just be mine But to me it ain't a wasted time Have you ever seen a red, red river Next to his blue, blue eyes Have you ever felt the heat of his touch Underneath the Texas sky You keep telling me to wait Cowboys don't change Don't give my heart away to a John Wayne Don't give my heart away to a John Wayne Don't give my heart away to a John Wayne
