Lyle Lovett - North Dakota lyrics

rate me

The boys from North Dakota

They drink whisky for their fun

And the cowboys down in Texas

They polish up their guns

And they look across the border

To learn the ways of love

If you love me, say I love you

If you love me, say I do

If you love me, say I love you

If you love me, say I do

And you can say I love you

And you can say I do

So I drank myself some whisky

And I dreamed I was a cowboy

And I rode across the border

If you love me, say I love you

If you love me, take my hand

If you love me, say I love you

If you love me, take my hand

And you can say I love you

And you can have my hand

I remember in the mornings

Waking up

With your arms around my head

You told me you can sleep forever

And I'll still hold you then

Now the weather's getting colder

It's even cold down here

And the words that you have told me

Hang frozen in the air

And sometimes I look right through them

As if they were not there

And the boys from North Dakota

They drink whisky for their fun

And the cowboys down in Texas

They polish up their guns

And they look across the border

To learn the ways of love
