Waiting on a Bull Rider

(Soft guitar strumming)

Underneath the starry skies tonight,

Thinking ‘bout a cowboy who feels so right,

Oh, the years they passed like a slow, sweet song,

But now I'm left waiting, where did we go wrong?

We met at that bar on a Saturday night,

You were full of laughter, everything felt right,

But after the dance, you slipped through my hands,

With every mix signal, I took my stance.

Waiting three years just to call you mine,

With every ghosted text, I drew the line.

But you promised me once, by the light of the moon,

"This ain't just a fling, we'll be back real soon."

Oh, the way you looked, with that grin on your face,

I thought I had found my heart's perfect place.

Hey there, bull rider, where did you go?

I thought we had something; don't you know?

You trained those wild horses, but what about me?

Waiting on a promise and a love that might be.

Oh, don't leave me hanging like the stars in the sky,

Come back and show me it's not just goodbye.

We laughed ‘til dawn at your grandparent’s farm,

You told me your stories, I felt that charm.

But like a tumbleweed blown by the wind,

You vanished again, where do I begin?

Your cowboy boots still echo in my dreams,

Every past promise ripped at the seams.

You said it was real, by the crackling fire,

The look in your eyes ignited my desire.

But now I’m left wondering, what could have been,

Was it all just a game? Did you ever really win?

Hey there, bull rider, where did you go?

I thought we had something; don’t you know?

You trained those wild horses, but what about me?

Waiting on a promise and a love that might be.

Oh, don’t leave me hanging like the stars in the sky,

Come back and show me it's not just goodbye.

Oh, I keep holding on, to the words that we shared,

While the sun rises up, I’m hoping you cared.

But every time the phone rings, my heart drops in fear,

Will you say you're sorry, or just disappear?

So here I stand, with dreams spun tight,

A love story waiting, wrapped in starlight.

Hey there, bull rider, now what do I do?

I just need an answer for the love I feel for you.
