If You Were Only Mine

Why won't you try to love me?
I know I'm not that hot.
A lot of other fellows,
Have a lot more than I've got.

Some have a lot more money,
Most have much better looks.
But culture ain't all measured,
By the things you learn from books.

I can tell a good horse from a bad,
By looking in his eyes.
He'd have get up early-
To take me by surprise.

I can handle any cattle,
Every wore a coat of hair.
And when it comes to workin' late
You'll always find me there.

I try to always keep my word-
If I lie it's by mistake.
All I need to make a loan,
Is a good, old-fashioned shake.

And if the job is good or bad,
I'll always tote my load.
And try to help another feller
Get on down the road.

I guess I'm just a cowboy-
That's my only claim to fame.
And I guess I am a knothead
But I love you just the same.

There's more to me than calloused hands
I also have a heart.
A love for natures beauty-
I appreciate good art.

Your beauty overwhelms me-
Your words are like fine wine.
I'd give the whole blamed universe,
If you were only mine.

Gunslinger,
Yup, you make a good romantic. Nicely done.

But I dont' get this line:
"I can handle any cattle,
Every wore a coat of hair."

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Awwww, this is sad. I, for one, love the cowboys. I hope you win in gaining her affection and love.
