From the recording The Acoustic Highway: Love, Loss & Other Stories
Lyrics
The boys from North Dakota
drink whiskey for their fun
while the cowboys down in Texas
all polish up their guns
and they run towards 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
and you can say i do
so i drank myself some whiskey
and I dreamed i was a cowboy
and i rode towards the border
if you love me say i love you
if you love me take my hand
if you love me say love you
if you love me take my hand
and you can say i love you
and you can hold my hand
i remember in the mornings
waking up
with your arms around my head
you said you could sleep forever
and i’d still hold you then
well the boys from north Dakota
drink whisky for their fun
while the cowboys down in Texas
all polish up their guns
and they run towards the border
to learn the ways of love
