Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's got a latte and a three-piece suit
Wouldn't know a fence post from a gumboot
Takes you to places with a wine list long
But he don't back you up when things go wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
He's got soft hands and a showroom tan
But girl, you need a different kind of man
You don't need no bloke with a follow plan
You need one with dirt under both his hands
[Chorus]
Forget that city boy - you need a cowboy
One with a dog box and a deep drawl voice
Someone who shows up, rain or shine
With a flanno shirt and a heart that's kind
You need dust on his boots, not a business plan
Forget that city boy - get yourself a man
[Verse 2]
He scrolls his feed more than he hears your voice
Thinks camping's cute - if there's concierge choice
But you want nights with the mozzies and stars
Not rooftop bars and Ubers for cars
[Pre-Chorus]
You need more than a swipe-right guy
You need someone who'll look you in the eye
Not one who panics when the esky's warm -
You want grit, not a uniform
[Chorus]
Forget that city boy - you need a cowboy
One with a dog box and a deep drawl voice
Someone who shows up, rain or shine
With a flanno shirt and a heart that's kind
You need dust on his boots, not a business plan
Forget that city boy - get yourself a man
[Bridge]
You want dam dust, diesel and stars
A singalong tune and a slow dance at the bar
Not some fella who's all smooth talk and apps -
You want a bloke who tips his hat
[Final Chorus]
Forget that city boy - you need a cowboy
One with a dog box and a deep drawl voice
Someone who shows up, rain or shine
With a flanno shirt and a heart that's kind
You need dust on his boots, not a business plan
Forget that city boy - get yourself a man
[Outro]
Yeah, you need a cowboy...
Not some bloke who'd faint at a bit of red sand.
