On the poor side of Fort Worth in a rundown motel
A rodeo cowboy held a young Texas belle
He scooped up some peanuts right out of the can

And he whispered as he placed them in the palm of
her hand
Baby I wish they were diamonds and this was north

Dallas
And I wish oh I wish you were mine oh I wish Lord
I wish you were mine

[ piano ]
On the north side of Dallas in a forty roomed
house

She remembers her cowboy as she takes off her
blouse
She fingers the diamonds that cling to her breast

Her teardrops fall freely as she looks to the west
And she says I wish they were peanuts and I wish
this was Cowtown

And I wish oh I wish he was mine oh she cries Lord
I wish he was mine
Peanuts and diamonds sawdust and satin Lone Star

and sparklin' red wine
Cowboys and rich girls just don't live in the same
world

And they both cry God I wish you were mine oh I
wish Lord I wish you were mine
