G#    C#    Fm        D#             G# C# Fm D#
Palm trees square dancing under the moon
G#  C#    Fm         D#             G# C# Fm D#
Sunsets, they ain't got nothing on you
         G#            C#           Fm             D#
And the purple in the sky ain't as pretty as your eyes
G#              C#    Fm D#
Tell me what I gotta do
             G#   C# Fm          D#      G# C# Fm D#
When you're with me it's better than Malibu

Chorus:
       G#                   C#
Let's skip the club, let's skip the crowd
       Fm            D#
Wanna take you on a date
      G#                   C#
I'll hold your hand, I'll hold the door
        Fm               D#
'Cause that's how I was raised
    G#             C#               Fm                D#
And all the other boys in town all look and talk the same
       G#       C#
But I got a different kind of heart
       Fm   D#
I'm a cowboy
              G# C# Fm D#
A cowboy in LA
              G# C# Fm D#
A cowboy in LA

Thunder, pick-ups, and cheap gasoline
Lightning, best show that I've ever seen
And you get up every day and you work hard for your pay
Happy in a pair of jeans
Oklahoma, it made a man out of me

Chorus

    G#          C#
And we can take it slow
     Fm       D#
This ain't a rodeo
G#          C#              Fm D#
I can show you something new

Chorus:
Let's skip the club, let's skip the crowd
Wanna take you on a date
I'll hold your hand, I'll hold the door
'Cause that's how I was raised
And all the other girls in town won't look at you the same
'Cause I got a different kind of heart
I'm a cowboy
You got a cowboy in LA
Cowboy in LA

Palm trees square dancing under the moon
