The Trade
The Trade
Verse 1
There’s a bull inside of me, pushes every woman out
Her wave of love washes over me, as I begin to doubt
She’s on my mind, but outta my heart
I’m leaving Manhattan with my cowboy hat on
So I’ll settle in Texas
Chorus
Ropes and steers and cowboy fears
Buckles and beers and whiskey tears
Hats and bars and rodeo scars
I’d trade it all for your love
Just one kiss
Just one dance
Just one night of pure romance
I’d trade it all
I’d trade it all for a life in your arms
Verse 2
She crossed my heart, with hopes I’d cry
By sticking that needle deep inside
I just can’t keep her off my mind
Every time I think about her love
She keeps me up all night
But I’ll settle in Texas
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
She took the best of me
You get the rest of me
Time keeps tickin’ away
I can’t make myself pray
I packed my things, I left my rings
But I’ll settle for Texas
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4
A lone star full of lonely hearts
Texas is the place I dearly love to be
It never leaves me without a doubt
She been outta my heart for so long now
But I’ll settle in Texas
Repeat Chorus
