Lyrics
A Song For The Cowboy There’s some that say he’s a rounder And a redneck that’s up to no good A part of America dying And some folks believe that he should But the cowboy’s the heart of this country The man always bucking long odds Always stands tall with his back to the wall Puts his faith in Country and God He rides on pure Hell for eight seconds And he swings a hammer all day He’s out there driving those big rigs He’s a welder and store clerk by trade It’s more than a job that defines you And at the end of the day It’s for what stands in the heart of the man That marks a true cowboy’s way CHORUS So let’s sing a song for the cowboy And raise our longnecks up high Let’s sing his song sing it loud, sing it strong So he may forever ride He lives in the spirit of Mahan And Lane Frost in this day and age As much as he did in John Chisholm With longhorns out there on the range Seems he was born to be different At home with only his kind He dreams at night of a true way of life Some hundred years out of time CHORUS So let’s sing a song for the cowboy And raise our longnecks up high Let’s sing his song sing it loud, sing it strong So he may forever ride May the Cowboy forever ride © 2017 ITSMYSONG MUSIC (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved
