when the cougar passed me by
She had her eye on a young cowboy
but they were both way too shy
Ah, go on, grab yourself that cowboy
One dressed up like a boy toy
He's not doing anybody any good
He's an unemployed cowboy
So quit acting so hard to get
Grab that cowboy over there
The one holding up the wall
He'll be puttin' in your hands
By the time you get him to dance
He'll probably follow you anywhere
Cause you'll be his first affair
May the cowboys ride all night
And then you can sleep all day
takin' your cougar blues away
You just go back to his drinkin' at the bar,
and you can carry on from afar
At the next bar you go to,
You're standin' there not
Just waitin' for someone like you
May the cowboys ride all night
And then you can sleep all day
Takin' your cougar blues away
To fill their hearts with sweet, love
To bring them joy from the angels above
A good lookin' woman like you
Is just what they were born to do
May the cowboys ride all night
And then you can sleep all day
Takin' your cougar blues away
