He's a cowboy
Who rode his dreams into the purple sky
Drove a million head of cattle 'cross the great divide mhm
He loved the JFC
That's made way into his heart upon a melody
She sang a song just like a bird and then just flew away
He still lives with the pain
Yea, he's a cowboy
He's getting old now
Every night he drifts off chasing the prairie wind
He's our guest but come morning he's back again
It's a lonesome love
But he's a cowboy
It's a rough ride
Ridin' into the rain
It's a tough life
Livin' life against the grey
But he'll hold on tight
Until the day he dies
He's a cowboy
He's a cowboy
Searchin' for the broken trail that leads him back to her
The crack of dawn brings just another day of hurt mhm
He's thinking now boy
Of finding a place to rest his weary mind
Longing for the night he takes his final ride
To the other side
Yea, he's a cowboy
It's a rough ride
Ridin' into the rain
It's a tough life
Livin' life against the grey
But he'll hold on tight
Till the day he dies
He's a cowboy
