You're my American boy

You're wilder than the wind

You're meaner than a bullet

But you taste sweet like gin

Oh, you're rugged to the hilt

Nothin' but muscles below that shirt

I swear to God that I planted you

And I plucked you from the dirt

'cause you call me twice a day

You say that I'm your proof of God

And I've never seen a boy so heartsick

Before I'm even gone

Cause it's flowers and dinners

And kisses on the cheek

And you're a gentle, loving soul, babe

But you're only that way with me

That's why you're the cowboy that I've been waiting for

When you take your boots off at night

I want you to leave them by my door

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

You're the meanest boy within the Essex County lines

You've broken every heart in town, but I know you won't break mine

You say that I'm your rattle snake, you say that I'm your drug

You can't survive without me in your life; can't live without my love

Cause you're the cowboy that I've been waiting for

When you take your boots off at night

I want you to leave them by my door

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Cause you kiss me like you've been waiting

Your whole life to kiss my lips

And you hold my body so tight

You leave marks with your fingertips

Oh, I've drank a lot of whiskey in my life

But I've never been drunk like this

No, no, I've never been loved like this

I only have one fantasy

My heart belongs to you

I can see you leaning against my house

In a pair of jeans and boots

You're so tough, you're so rugged

I cannot lie, you know that I love it

I used to think I was so above it

But now those other boys, they don't mean nothin'

Cause you're the cowboy that I've been waiting for

When you take your boots off at night

I want you to leave them on my porch

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Cause you kiss me like you've been waiting

Your whole life to kiss my lips

And you hold my body so tight

You leave marks with your fingertips

Oh, I've drank a lot of whiskey in my life

But I've never been drunk like this

No, no, I've never been loved like this
