Summertime where the sun goes down in the city, & the people park their cars   The boy's smell sweet and the girls look pretty, as their lining up the bars   I see you standing there, with jeans and t-shirt on   Just like a movie scene when a hero comes along      And you will hold me in your arms, the way you cradle your guitar   And you will take good care of me, like when you�re fixing up you car   And you will love me like the way you loved, the 4th of july   My manhattan cowboy, I wanna make you mine      I was looking around and around when I saw you   My eyes stopped, had to turn around   Was a country song ringing out in the city of hip-hop   It was such a beautiful sound   And when you walked beside me, you stand for something true   May not have a horse to ride but the subway will do      And you will hold me in your arms, the way you cradle your guitar   And you will take good care of me, like when you�re fixing up you car   And you will love me like the way you loved, the 4th of july   My manhattan cowboy, I wanna make you mine      If you want we can drive away   We can go for a ride down the west side highway   If you want we can leave today   We can go for a ride down the west side highway      If you want we can drive away   We can go for a ride down the west side highway   If you want we can leave today   We can go for a ride      And you will hold me in your arms, the way you cradle your guitar   And you will take good care of me, like when you�re fixing up you car   And you will love me like the way you loved, the 4th of july   My manhattan cowboy, I wanna make you mine
