Verse 1
I’m a typical Jersey girl
Doin’ the same old things
With the same old crowd
And the same old tales
And the loneliness that brings
Verse 2
So I take out my phone
scroll through dating apps
Laughing to myself
At all the crazy photographs
Pre
I swipe left, I swipe right
I don’t know what to say
Then I come across a profile
I just can’t look away
Chorus
He’s a Mississippi Cowboy
A soldier far from home
Stationed at the port nearby
Says he’s all alone
Verse 3
I look through all his pictures
He looks so good in fatigues
Even better in his boots and hat
It brings me to my knees
Verse 4
We planned to meet for dinner
I saw him straight away
All 6 foot 5 of him
I tried hard not to sway
Verse 5
He’s got that southern drawl
And says Thank you to y’all
He holds the door and takes my hand
and I can barely stand
Chorus
He’s a Mississippi Cowboy
A soldier far from home
Stationed at a port nearby
Says he’s all alone
Verse 6
I show him ‘round my town
He tells me of his farm
I focus on the curve of his lips
wonder how they’d feel on my own
Verse 7
He is big and he is strong
His eyes sparkle in the sun
He takes me in his arms
I just know it can’t be wrong
Verse 8
He takes me dancing in the moonlight
He puts on a show
He likes cold beer and music
On country radio
Pre
He shows me how to feel
Like I’m the only one
Chorus
He’s my Mississippi Cowboy
A soldier far from home
Stationed at a port nearby
Now he’s not alone
Verse 9
No thinking’ needed
I leave Jersey behind
I never dreamed of a love like this
It drives me out of my mind
Verse 10
I step into boots
He puts a hat on my head
I know this is the beginning
And clearly not the end
Chorus
He’s my Mississippi Cowboy
A soldier far from home
Stationed at a port nearby
Now we are not alone
Now we are not alone
