Backstory:

Americans love the sense of adventure that is kept alive through Western Movies and idols.  Remnants of the Wild West still exist in the Cowboy Spirit.  Music, Vocals & Production by William Sherry, and Lyrics by Clare Steffen.  John Wayne and Clint Eastwood didn't agree on how to best represent the cowboy of the Old West, but both were loved by the American People.

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

An idol on the big screen

John Wayne left his mark

On the cover of Life magazine

Our imagination would spark



Bridge

He played a hero, 

A tried and true cowboy



V2

The cowboy was a lonely man

In the eyes of Clint Eastwood

Violence was part of the plan

When the days got dark



Bridge

John and Clint might have disagreed

About the cowboy image

But nonetheless



Chorus

Americans feel the spirit of pride

In their Western heritage

It took a lot of courage

To overcome their fears

But together they would ride

Beyond the river's edge

Rounding up their steers



V3

Whether outlaw or lawman

Cowboys blazed the trail

Knowing as they rode across the land

One will succeed where many will fail



Bridge

Not too many words were needed

For the cowboy to get their point across



Chorus

Americans feel the spirit of pride

In their Western heritage

It took a lot of courage

To overcome their fears

But together they would ride

Beyond the river's edge

Rounding up  their steers



Outro

Long live the cowboy spirit

Americans sure love that cowboy spirit
