Lyrics:

(Lyle Lovett and Willis Alan Ramsey)The boys from North DakotaThey drink whisky for their funAnd the cowboys down in TexasThey polish up their gunsAnd they look across the borderTo learn the ways of loveIf you love me, say I love youIf you love me, say I doIf you love me, say I love youIf you love me, say I doAnd you can say I love youAnd you can say I doSo I drank myself some whiskyAnd I dreamed I was a cowboyAnd I rode across the borderIf you love me, say I love youIf you love me, take my handIf you love me, say I love youIf you love me, take my handAnd you can say I love youAnd you can have my handI remember in the morningsWaking upWith your arms around my headYou told me you can sleep foreverAnd I'll still hold you thenNow the weather's getting colderIt's even cold down hereAnd the words that you have told meHang frozen in the airAnd sometimes I look right through themAs if they were not thereAnd the boys from North DakotaThey drink whisky for their funAnd the cowboys down in TexasThey polish up their gunsAnd they look across the borderTo learn the ways of love
