Mississippi Cowboy

Updated: Sep 14, 2023

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
