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   And 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   And 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   Cowboy guarantee
