COWBOYS ©2018

Cowboys like their whisky straight from the bottle
washing down the dirt from the dusty trail
riding creeks and backwoods in wild country
watering their horses in distant ponds

CH: A cowboy’s life is true to the bone
riding the mountain range is home
sitting in a saddle all day long
listening in the night to the coyote’s call

Cowboys like their whisky straight from the bottle
riding into town and raising hell
brushing the dust from a well-worn Stetson
spurs clanking on the old plank road

CH: a cowboy’s life burns in his blood
like the lightning burns in the sky above
scratched by the scrub, the cowboy’s bane
riding the herd in the cold hard rain

There once was a time when a cowboy belonged
but the horses don’t eat concrete and the free range is gone [x2]
