Lyrics: Hey cowboy, why you always hidin’ from me Duckin’ behind hay bales like it’s some kind of mystery Why can’t we be friends, or dream a future bright Come on out, cowboy — I ain’t gonna bite You peek around the barn door like a cartoon on the run Then trip over your own boots — now that’s a sight of fun You act like I’m the sheriff here to haul you to the pen Relax, I’m just a cowgirl — not chasin’ you again Hey cowboy, why you always hidin’ from me Duckin’ behind hay bales like it’s some kind of mystery Why can’t we be friends, or dream a future bright Come on out, cowboy — I ain’t gonna bite You dodge my questions faster than a tumbleweed in wind But I’ve seen you blushin’ when I wave and grin You ain’t foolin’ no one with that tough‑guy cowboy stance Your hat shakes every time I ask you for a dance Hey cowboy, why you always hidin’ from me Duckin’ behind hay bales like it’s some kind of mystery Why can’t we be friends, or dream a future bright Come on out, cowboy — I ain’t gonna bite I ain’t askin’ for a promise carved in stone or steel Just a little honesty about how you really feel You say you’re a lone ranger ridin’ wild and free But even rangers need someone to laugh with, don’t they, gee? Hey cowboy, why you always hidin’ from me Duckin’ behind hay bales like it’s some kind of mystery Why can’t we be friends, or dream a future bright Come on out, cowboy — I ain’t gonna bite Now don’t you panic, cowboy — I ain’t here to cause a fuss But you jump like a jackrabbit every time you look at us So stop your hidin’, honey — step into the light Let’s see if that shy smile of yours can last all night Hey cowboy, why you always hidin’ from me Duckin’ behind hay bales like it’s some kind of mystery Why can’t we be friends, or dream a future bright Come on out, cowboy — I ain’t gonna bite
