She said any other time she never whould have picked me up but I looked lonely
I was standing in the pouring rain with my abeat-up guitar strapped across my back
She said she never did this kind of thing except for this time only
I told her I was glad because I'd never been inside a Cadillac

It didn't take her long to make me feel that I was more than just a cowboy
Cause looking at her moved me more than touchin' any girl I'd ever known
Said she couldn't help comparin' me to all those richer men she'd tried to care for
And Lord she had a smile that made me feel like I was fin'ly comin' home

Oh the cowboy and the lady ain't the kind of folks you usually see together
The velvet and the English lace and sort of faded jeans and leather
(I like your leather)
But once inside each other's arms the difference makes no difference anymore
Cause the cowboy and the lady found the feeling the whole world's looking for

She told me she had friends that tried to tell her what a big mistake she's making
They said I was a drifter just looking for a nice warm place to sleep
But she decided lovin' me was worth more than the chances she was taking
And when she kissed me I could feel the earth began to move beneath my feet

Oh the cowboy and the lady...
