Kissing Cowboys

I spent a summer kissing cowboys
I didn't want to go home
I said "Leave me in the country,
Where I don't have to sleep alone"

I was seeing a selfish city boy
He never loved me, he just made me his toy
I was tired of his games, and his sad, pretty face
And the way that he sighed and said I belong in this place

He had a lot of money, he would always buy me things
I'm sure if I had asked him, he would have given me a ring
I didn't want his presents if I was still alone at night
While he went out and fooled around in the glow of neon lights

So I packed a bag of clothing,
Took some money and some wine
Found some arms to keep me company
Undressed under the moon

And I spent a summer kissing cowboys
In the sun and in the night
They were the sweetest lips I'd tasted
In my dull and empty life
The summer I spent kissing cowboys
Filled my heart with something new
I felt passion and desire
That I had never felt with you

The longer that I drove the bigger my spirit became
I pulled over just to breathe a breath and I carried on again
There was something running through my veins I couldn't hold it in
And I found a young hot thing or two who showed me how to sin

I let them take me all apart
And I let them put me back
And no matter how many kissed me
I always kissed them back

And I spent a summer kissing cowboys
Beneath the clouds, beneath the stars
And I didn't miss that city boy
In the back seat of my car
I spent a summer kissing cowboys
It wasn't love but it was good
They didn't want to keep me
Their arms always understood
The summer I spent kissing cowboys
Filled my heart with something new
I felt a tender touch
That I had never felt with you
