She wore the dust like a ribbon of gold
He had a promise
and a hand to hold
Down by the water
where the tall grass swayed
They found forever
in the plans they made
No silver saddle,
no mansion above
Just two wild hearts
and a whole lot of love
We’re livin’ on love
for ever and ever
With the moon on the lake and our hearts tied together
I held her close
as the cool night woke And she kissed my lips
like a promise she spoke Yeah,
livin’ on love
for ever and ever Cowgirl and cowboy,
two souls, one endeavor
She laughed like a song
in the summer rain
He’d cross every river,
ride every plain
Her hat on the dash,
his boots by the door
Every little goodbye
made them want more
No need for diamonds
shining above
The stars knew the secret:
they were enough
If the fields turn brown
and the old fence breaks
If the road gets long
and the daylight fades
I’ll be your shelter,
you’ll be my home Wherever we’re riding,
we’ll never be alone
We’re livin’ on love for ever and ever
By the blue lake shore through every kind of weather She held
me close as the first light broke
And she kissed my lips like a promise she spoke Yeah,
livin’ on love for ever and ever
Cowgirl and cowboy, now and forever
By the lake, beneath the stars above
Cowgirl, cowboy, livin’ on love
