Now the weather's getting colder, it's even cold down here And the words that you have told me, hang frozen in the air

The boys from North Dakota, they drink whiskey for their funAnd the cowboys down in Texas, they polish up their gunsAnd they look across 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 you" and you can say, "I do"
So I drank myself some whiskeyAnd I dreamed I was a cowboyAnd I rode across the border
If you love me, say, "I love you", if you love me, take my handIf you love me, say, "I love you", if you love me, take my handAnd you can say, "I love you" and you can have my hand
I remember in the mornings waking upWith your arms around my headYou told me you can sleep forever and I'll still hold you then
Now the weather's getting colder, it's even cold down hereAnd the words that you have told me, hang frozen in the airAnd sometimes I look right through them as if they were not there
And the boys from north Dakota, they drink whiskey for their funAnd the cowboys down in Texas, they polish up their gunsAnd they look across the border to learn the ways of love
