Buy a Cowgirl
Cowgirl Blues: Navigating Love's Rodeo
Lyrics
I like the guys that know what I like
The singer prefers men who understand her preferences.
But I can already tell that you just ain't the type
The person being addressed doesn't fit the type of person the singer likes.
Maybe it's because you haven't shut up
The person has been talking incessantly.
Lord you're making me want to throw back another one
The person's talk is making the singer want to drink more.
And this is how it always goes
Describes a recurring situation or pattern.
Some ripped jean wearing Romeo
Refers to a stereotypical, casually dressed romantic person.
Is gonna tell the same old jokes
Anticipates hearing predictable jokes from this type of person.
But I've heard it all before
The singer has heard similar conversations before.
So don't ask me what I'm drinking
Asking about her drink choice won't impress her.
Honey, bless your heart for thinking
Appreciating the effort but implying it won't work.
That a cowboy's what I'm looking for tonight
The person assumes the singer wants a cowboy, but she doesn't.
So don't be stumbling on me waiting
Asking the person not to act awkwardly around her.
For this little conversation
The conversation won't lead to anything beyond a goodbye.
To end in anything other than kiss my and goodbye
A firm statement indicating the conversation's end.
Oh I don't hate to break it to ya
The singer isn't sorry for disappointing the person.
But you ain't gonna buy a cowgirl tonight
The person won't be able to impress or win over the singer.
You're like the drinks from the bottom shelf
Comparing the person to low-quality drinks; not up to standards.
And your cheap whisky breath is giving me some kinda hell
The person's breath (possibly due to drinking) is unpleasant for the singer.
This is how it always goes
Reiterates a familiar situation.
Yeah this ain't my first rodeo
The singer has experienced similar situations before.
So saddle up your horse
An expression indicating the person should prepare for rejection.
Cause I've heard it all before
The singer is familiar with what the person might say.
So don't ask me what I'm drinking
Repeated refusal to engage in drink-related conversation.
Honey, bless your heart for thinking
Recognition of the person's attempt but asserting it won't work.
That a cowboy's what I'm looking for tonight
Reiterates the person's misunderstanding of the singer's desires.
So don't be stumbling on me waiting
Asking the person not to expect more from the conversation.
For this little conversation
Similar to line 13, indicating the conversation's inevitable end.
To end in anything other than kiss my and goodbye
Firmly asserting the final outcome of the conversation.
Oh I don't hate to break it to ya
Reiteration of disappointment for the person's mistaken assumptions.
But you ain't gonna buy a cowgirl tonight
Reaffirming that the person won't succeed in their intentions.
Hey
Expressions and sounds possibly indicating frustration or dismissal.
Hey
-Hey
-Woo
-Cowgirl tonight
Repetition of the desire not to engage with the person.
Cowgirl tonight
-Cowgirl tonight night night night
-So don't ask me what I'm drinking
Repeated refusal and insistence on the conversation's outcome.
Honey, bless your heart for thinking
-That a cowboy's what I'm looking for tonight
-So don't be stumbling on me waiting
-For this little conversation
-To end in anything other than kiss my and goodbye
-Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Continuation of firm assertion regarding the conversation's end.
Cowgirl tonight
Reiteration of the singer's choice to reject the person.
Cowgirl tonight
-Cowgirl tonight night night night
-Please
An emphatic plea to end the conversation.
