He's rugged rough and ready his lady's soft and pretty
There must be ten years difference in their ages I suppose
But you don't see any traces or sadness in the faces
Cause together they're the cowboy and the rose
Now the lone cowboy shy like a piece of humble pie
Sips a cup of coffee at the dinner where he goes
Where he waits on the lady to finish waitin' on the tables
But together they're the cowboy and the rose
She's Better Homes and Gardens he's True West magazine
How they got together the good Lord only knows
But it's not for a man to question a love that's made in heaven
And together theyâ"š¬â"ž¢re the cowboy and the rose
[ guitar ]
Well the lady keeps her distance there ain't much resistance
From the rednecks and the rounders drinkin' half cups for the road
Cause a man will meet his maker if he ever tried to take her
Or come between the cowboy and the rose
She's Better Homes and Gardens...
Cause together theyâ"š¬â"ž¢re the cowboy and the rose
