lyrics

WON'T LIE DOWN

A girl sighs: her baby is crying and won't lie down.
In the young cowboys' games, the shot ones get blamed
When they won't lie down.

But children get older and cowboys get bolder;
The prairie gives way to the dance floor one day;
And the cowboy's uncertain, confused by the flirting
He sees all around him: his feelings confound him.

And his pulse soars: it's her he adores, but she won't lie down.
So he pleads, and he cries, and he swears he will die,
If she won't lie down.

Just a tender caress brings sweet smiles of success,
And the wedding bells chime for a girl in her prime.
Her complexion is glowing; her waistline is showing
Her virtue's turned turtle, and the wheel's come full circle.

And the girl sighs: her baby is crying and won't lie down.
And feelings may change, but the memories remain
And they won't lie down. No, they won't lie down.
