IT’S A COWBOY LIFE

(Optional intro chorus)

He’ll ride the range from dusk till dawn
We call it wild, he calls it home
His painted horse has served him well
They’ve been through storms, they’ve been through hell

He’s got a gun strapped on his hip
For the rattlesnakes along his trips

Chorus
It’s a cowboy life
It’ll rope you in
It gets real deep under your skin
Ain’t about gettin’ rich
It’s a daily scratching of an itch
It’s a cowboy life
Some are born to it
Some make the choice
Neither one can quit
It all comes with a heavy price
It’s a cowboy life
Yeah, it’s a cowboy life

Still thinks about what coulda been
With a blue-eyed girl from way back when
She was a fire that never died
Still keeps him warm sometimes at night

Won’t be headlines when he’s gone
Just a simple cross and a stone

Chorus

Tag
It’s a cowboy life
It’ll rope you in
It gets real deep under your skin
It’s a cowboy life
