He's a cowboy
Who rode his dreams into the purple sky
Drove a million head of cattle
'Cross the great divide

Mmm, 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, yeah, he's a cowboy

He's gettin' old now
Every night he drifts off chasin' the prairie wind
He's our guest but come mornin' 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 bring's just another day of hurt

Mmm, he's thinkin' now, boy
Of findin' a place to rest his weary mind
Longin' for the night he takes his final ride
To the other side, yeah, 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

He's a cowboy, oh, uh
Oh, ride 'em, cowboy
(Oh, ride 'em, cowboy)
