The Cowboy and the Lady by Bobby Goldsboro Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the airport lounge, she sat in a Marlena Dietrich hat
The grandest lady I had ever seen
Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes
So I asked her if she'd like some company

[Verse 2]
In my rhinestone-studded suit, my cowboy hat, and boots
I must have been a sight for her to see
But she said, "Pull up a chair," as she fumbled with her hair
A more unlikely pair you'll never see

[Verse 3]
I was Mogen David wine, she was Chablis fifty-nine
But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady
Shе was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paree
I was Grand Olе Opry, Nashville, Tennessee

[Reprise]
The cowboy and the lady
As diff'rent as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night
In Tennessee
[Verse 4]
Then somewhere in between her Harley's Bristol Creme
And the seven beers I ordered for the lady
We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather
Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy
And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady

[Verse 5]
The cowboy and the lady
As diff'rent as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night
In Tennessee

[Outro]
La-la-la-da
La-le-la-la-la

Yeah, now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy
And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady

La-da-da
La-le-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-le-la
La-la-da-da
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
