Lyric
He’s a cowboyWho rode his dreams into the purple skyDrove a million head of cattle ‘cross the great divide mhmHe loved the JFCThat’s made way into his heart upon a melodyShe sang a song just like a bird and then just flew awayHe still lives with the painYea, he’s a cowboyHe’s getting old nowEvery night he drifts off chasing the prairie windHe’s our guest but come morning he’s back againIt’s a lonesome loveBut he’s a cowboyIt’s a rough rideRidin’ into the rainIt’s a tough lifeLivin’ life against the greyBut he’ll hold on tightUntil the day he diesHe’s a cowboyHe’s a cowboySearchin’ for the broken trail that leads him back to herThe crack of dawn brings just another day of hurt mhmHe’s thinking now boyOf finding a place to rest his weary mindLonging for the night he takes his final rideTo the other sideYea, he’s a cowboyIt’s a rough rideRidin’ into the rainIt’s a tough lifeLivin’ life against the greyBut he’ll hold on tightTill the day he diesHe’s a cowboyHe’s a cowboy oh uhOh ride ’em cowboy (Oh ride ’em cowboy)
