MALE VERSION 
 
Intro: You can’t tie a cowboy down
         When he’s a wild horse runnin’ around
 
Her Dad held the keys  to the car
Said “Remember who's girl you are"
She tried to hide her guilt with a grin
But he held onto those keys
So she summoned up some honesty
Said “I’m headed to the rodeo again”
He said "I know he's waitin' there for you
And I know he says his love is true
But he's chasin' a dream he never outgrew  
 

CHORUS:
YOU CAN’T TIE A COWBOY DOWN
When HE’S A WILD HORSE RUNNIN’ AROUND
HE’LL JUMP  IF YOU CORRAL HIM IN 
BABY THAT’S WHY WE CALL ‘EM COWBOYS  INSTEAD OF COWMEN
YOU CAN’T ROPE ‘EM IN , NO YOU CAN’T ROPE ‘EM IN
 
Her Dad said "I've lived that life before"
When I hung around your Mom's  porch
Showing off a stallion I couldn’t buy
Yeah I had that restless look
But I knew just what it took
To settle down and make her my wife 
He said “Girl the best thing you can do”
Is throw your cowboy for a loop 
Cause he's never been tied and he's never been shoed

 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
BRIDGE:
Well she met him that night 
He promised her his life
The next morning they rode out of sight    (as her Daddy cried)
                  
CHORUS:
YOU CAN’T TIE A COWBOY DOWN
When HE’S A WILD HORSE RUNNIN’ AROUND
HE’LL  JUMP IF YOU CORRAL  HIM IN
Baby THAT’S WHY WE CALL ‘EM COWBOYS  INSTEAD OF COWMEN
YOU CAN’T ROPE ‘EM IN …NO, YOU CAN’T ROPE ‘EM IN 
NO YOU CAN’T ROPE US IN
