Sun high, horse tired, He rides into town

Ragged and unshaven, looking for a bed to lay his head

The Saloon is welcoming, so He stops

Getting off the tired beast, He saunters in slow and easy

Men talking loud and hearty, women promising love, for a price

She sees him, staying she watches as he orders a Whiskey

This man sweeps her away unknowingly, Its the hat

He sees her, tips his hat and drawls "Howdy Ma'am"

Her heart jumps, "Howdy" is her only reply

"May I buy you a drink?" he asks politely

"If you please..." she's falling in love

They talk for hours about the world around them

Laughing and remembering together all their joys

They take a slow walk through town, watching the stars

He realizes that he is in love, finally

Shyly she takes his hand, warming to him

They reach the edge of town and stroll into the wild open earth

A full moon over head shining and blessing this moment

Again tipping his hat he says "Ma'am you are the prettiest rose in this barren desert ... and it would be my pleasure to place upon your lips a small token of grace for the beauty you offered me this evening."

Blushing and with a turn of her head she nods in agreement.

He pulls her close and holds her dear. Removing that black cowboy hat

Looking deep into her eyes he kisses her, deep and lovingly

The moonlight silhouetting them, time melting

This weary Kowboy has found love

This Lady has found her hero
