Dance with Your Spurs On

Take your coffee bitter
Cook your beef steak rare
Drink your whiskey straight
Draw to all your pairs

Pack the quickest pistol
Break the toughest broncs
Speak your piece with wisdom
Sing a cowboy song

Dance with your spurs on
Twirl the girls around
Tip your hat when that whistle blows
As you win your last go-round
Dance with your spurs on
‘Cause the ride ain't all that long
May your rowels still be spinnin’
As they lay you in the ground

May your spirit never grumble
Learn from your mistakes
If your life should ever stumble
May your cinch not ever break

Move your cattle easy
Treat your partner square
Rein your pony gentle
Play your hand out fair

Dance with your spurs on
Twirl the girls around
Tip your hat when that whistle blows
As you win your last go-round
Dance with your spurs on
‘Cause the ride ain't all that long
May your rowels still be spinnin’
As they lay you in the ground

BREAK

We know you fought some battles
We're all here gathered around
The truth is on the tombstone
You never let nobody down

Dance with your spurs on
Twirl the girls around
Tip your hat when that whistle blows
As you win your last go-round
Dance with your spurs on
‘Cause the ride ain't all that long
May your rowels still be spinnin’
As they lay you in the ground
