Thirty thousand girls screaming his name. Cute. Guess who's got the car keys. She watches from the wings while the crowd loses it, and she's not jealous — she's amused. Because she knows where he's ending up tonight. All she needs is a soft landing and a good old-fashioned tumble. He can keep the boots on. This cowgirl's going for a ride.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] I watch him from the wings and God he's something on that stage Got the whole room in his hand like every word is turning a page Girls up front are losing it, they're reaching for his belt I just lean against the wall and think, honey, you ain't felt how this man melts He's singing 'bout the desert and they swear they feel that heat Baby, I run hotter than the sand and I ain't been dry all week [Pre-Chorus] He comes off that stage still buzzing, shirt half undone Grabs me by the waist like I'm the only thing he won I say where do you think you're taking me? He just grins and says "wherever you want to be" I say [Chorus] All I need's a soft landing And a good old-fashioned tumble Take me somewhere the neighbors can't hear And let this whole night rumble You can keep the boots on, cowboy I don't need you civilized All I'm asking for's a soft landing This cowgirl's going for a ride [Verse 2] He's got the hat, he's got the swagger, he's got the whole damn room But backstage he's just a man who smells like smoke and cheap cologne and boom I grab his hand, I pull him close, I whisper "let's get gone" He drops the guitar like it's yesterday and baby, now it's on Those girls can have the poster, they can have the autograph I've got the man behind the music and I've got the better half [Pre-Chorus] He picks me up like nothing, spins me through the door I'm laughing so hard I can barely tell him "more" He says what exactly are you hoping for? I kick my boots off, hit the lamp, and tell him [Chorus] All I need's a soft landing And a good old-fashioned tumble Take me somewhere the neighbors can't hear And let this whole night rumble You can keep the boots on, cowboy I don't need you civilized All I'm asking for's a soft landing This cowgirl's going for a ride [Bridge] Now I know what you're thinking — she's just talking tough But honey, when he looks at me, tough ain't quite enough I'm a woman with a life, a job, two kids, a plan But God didn't make these legs to waste 'em on a careful man He throws me down, I pull him close He says "you good?", I say [Chorus] All I need's a soft landing And a good old-fashioned tumble Take me somewhere the morning comes slow And let this whole thing rumble You can keep the boots on, cowboy I don't need you polite tonight All I'm asking for's a soft landing This cowgirl's going for a ride [Outro] Soft landing, baby This cowgirl's going for a ride [Spoken] Yeah. He can definitely keep the boots on.
