There were signs all over town
Come see the rodeo
When I saw those fair ground lights a shinin'
I knew I had to go
There were bulls and wild horses

Arrows and clowns
Rhinestones and glitter sparklin'
And cowboys all around
But there was one I never will forget

He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be broken
He was gonna leave
That's the cowboy guarantee

That night we got together
We drove out to the lake
Beneath the stars and Texas moonlight
I gave my heart away
But you can't tame a river
And I wouldn't want to try
Cause it was worth all the hurtin'
To know that for one night
I was loved like I've never been before

He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be broken
He was gonna leave
That's the cowboy guarantee

He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be broken
He was gonna leave
That's the cowboy guarantee

Cause a cowboy is a cowboy
And he's always gonna be
That's the cowboy guarantee
Ohh that's the cowboy guarantee
