Story Behind The Song

I was at this bar and observed a cowboy ... yeah the boots and hat kind just gaga over this girl a couple of seats down. She had long brown hair, intense blue eyes, the whole thing and it was workin. She happened to ask him something and it seemed that in trying to respond that he forgot how to speak the English language. She smiled and turned away. He didn't follow through he just sat there imagining spending his whole life being in love with her. He's sure he'd tell her if she'd just look his way
