Smooth talker He thinks he'll be the one to walk her to his room But for all of his schemin', he's only dreamin' He might as well be gone Because she's got her eyes on the dance floor She's made up her mind And the lady takes the cowboy every time 'Cause she's just dyin' to do the Texas 2-step And she just can't wait to strut her stuff Dancin' to the 'Cotton Eyed Joe' So she'll come dancin' till the band stops playin' At 2 in the mornin' And still have time for one beer before she goes Off with her 2-steppin' cowboy She'll have time for one beer before they go Tall and handsome He thinks he'll probably land somewhere in her arms tonight Well, he thinks he's cool but she thinks he's a fool He might as well turn and go Because she's got her eyes on the dance floor She's made up her mind And the lady takes the cowboy every time 'Cause she's just dyin' to do the Texas 2-step And she just can't wait to strut her stuff Dancin' to the 'Cotton Eyed Joe' So she'll come dancin' till the band stops playin' At 2 in the mornin' And still have time for one beer before she goes Off with her 2-steppin' cowboy She'll have time for one beer before she goes
