Lyrics
Hey there good lookin'
yeah you in the hat
Those jeans fit just right
where you been at?
C'mon over here and show me that grin
I need you to buy me a drink again
Giddy-up, sugar; hold me tight
I'm lookin' for a new cowboy tonight
I need a cowboy thats hot and fun
A cowboy that knows how to work them spurs and run
I’m not looking for Mr Right
I’m just lookin for a new cowboy tonight
So Giddy-up, sugar; hold me tight
I'm lookin' for a new cowboy tonight
Keep your judgment to yourself
If this ain’t you it will be someone else
It's been a long day and I need some fun
C'mon now cowboy show me your gun
Giddy-up, sugar; hold me tight
I'm lookin' for a new cowboy tonight
Tie me up, cowboy, let’s go for a ride
Keep on look’n if you need a bride
I'm lookin' for a cowboy who’s smile is bright
I'm lookin' for a cowboy just for tonight
So Giddy-up, sugar; hold me tight
I'm lookin' for a new cowboy tonight
Giddy-up, sugar; hold me real tight
New cowboy tonight
Oh hot damn I shouldn't have sung that song
