Summertime where the sun goes down in the city
And the people park their cars
The postman’s sweet and the girls look pretty
As their linin' up for bars

I see you standin' there
With the jeans and T-shirt on
Just like a movie scene
When a hero comes along

And you will hold me in your arms, the way you cradle your guitar
And you will take good care of me, like when you’re fixin' up you car
And you will love me like the way you loved, the 4th of July
My Manhattan cowboy, I wanna make you mine

I was looking around and around when I saw you
My eyes stopped, had to turn around
Your country song ringin' out in the city of hip-hop
It was such a beautiful sound

And when you walked beside me
You stand for something true
May not have a horse to ride
But the subway will do

And you will hold me in your arms, the way you cradle your guitar
And you will take good care of me, like when you’re fixin' up you car
And you will love me like the way you loved, the 4th of July
My Manhattan cowboy, I wanna make you mine

If you want we can drive away
We can go for a ride down the west side highway
If you want we can leave today
We can go for a ride down the west side highway

If you want we can drive away
We can go for a ride down the west side highway
If you want we can leave today
We can go for a ride

And you will hold me in your arms, the way you cradle your guitar
And you will take good care of me, like when you’re fixin' up you car
And you will love me like the way you loved, the 4th of July
My Manhattan cowboy, I wanna make you mine
