THAT’S WHAT YOU GET

I HEAR THE ROOSTER CALL AS HIS SPURS JINGLE DOWN THE HALL
THAT MAN IS UP AND GONE BEFORE THE SUN
AS I’M LYIN HERE INSTEAD OF GETTING OUT OF BED
WONDERIN’ DEAR LORD WHAT HAVE I DONE

CHORUS
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MARRY A COWBOY
MY MAMA TRIED TO WARN ME EVERY DAY
DON’T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A COWBOY
GIRL, JUST SADDLE UP AND RIDE AWAY

HE’S NOT ONE FOR CONVERSATION-NEVER HEARD OF WOMENS LIBERATION
HE’LL SIT AND WAIT FOR SUPPER TO BE SERVED
WHEN I MOAN TO MY FRIENDS ABOUT HIS SHENANIGANS
THEY SAY, “GIRL YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED”

CHORUS
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MARRY A COWBOY
MY MAMA TRIED TO WARN ME EVERY DAY
DON’T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A COWBOY
GIRL, JUST SADDLE UP AND RIDE AWAY

DOGGIES BOTTLES IN THE SINK, HOW MUCH BEER CAN ONE MAN DRINK
I SWEAR THAT HE AIN’T GOT ONE LICK OF SENSE
A FRIDGE FULL COW VACCINE, I GUESS I’M LIVIN A COWGIRLS DREAM
WITH A NEVER ENDING CHORE OF MENDING FENCE

CHORUS
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MARRY A COWBOY
MY MAMA TRIED TO WARN ME EVERY DAY
DON’T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A COWBOY
GIRL, JUST SADDLE UP AND RIDE AWAY

SOLO
BUT OH, IN THE NIGHT WHEN HE HOLDS ME TIGHT
AND WHISPERS, “I LOVE YOU” SOFT AND LOW
HE PUTS ON HIS COWBOY CHARMS AS I MELT IN HIS ARMS
MAMA, I SURE LOVE HIM SO

CHORUS
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MARRY A COWBOY
MY MAMA TRIED TO WARN ME EVERY DAY
DON’T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A COWBOY
GIRL, JUST SADDLE UP AND RIDE AWAY
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MARRY A COWBOY
