Cowboys In Her Eyes
A story about a girl who grew up watching those old western movies as a kid, and now that she's grown up and looking for love, she can't seem to find it because she refuses to settle for any man who's not just like those old western heroes like Clint Eastwood.

As a little girl she loved those western movies
The man with no name; she'd whistle out the theme
When she blossomed to a woman she started seeing
All those bearded, big-iron men float through her dreams
Her mama told her, "Girl, you'll long for true love
That those types of men you want will rarely give"
She insisted that the cowpokes with Stetsons and their guns
Were the only things on Earth worth calling men
(Chorus)
She's got cowboys in her eyes, romance on her mind
Believing she can take the place of his need to rope and ride
She don't concede to lore 'bout lonely, knowing she's the one and only
Kind of girl to make him stay home and love on her more than his ponies
You can't tell her that she's wrong, Lord, she's in for a surprise
'Cause she can only see those cowboys in her eyes
She was almost tricked to love by a few pretenders
That she insists back in the West wouldn't last a day
She wants that type of man she's only see on TV screens
And doesn't realize they might not exist here anyway
There was a businessman, tall, rich, ruggedly handsome
And a brave, well-suited man who risked his life in fire
But she never saw them twice, 'cause they weren't her kind of guys
They weren't fit for her and her long-held desires
(Chorus)
