Cowboy 'Til I Die
grown from a seed in the heart of the heartland| raised on mama's prayers and my daddy back hand||rocked in the cradle by a swaying wheat field|staring through the cracks of a combine windshield||renegade rough shawed, stubborn and tough|I come from a long line of rugged and rough||I'm cowboy born, cowboy bred, when the good Lord calls I'll be cowboy dead|bury me beneath that prairie sky|outlaw wild, outlaw free, rolling along like tumble weed|it's who I am, it's what I've been, for all my life|I'll be cowboy till I die||from the red dirt roads to the blacktop streets|trying to make a living outta steel and concrete||outta step slow bot hell in a half tonne|living like a stray in the sight of a shotgun||I try to walk the line in thee dusty boots |but there ain't no pulling me outta my roots||I'm cowboy born, cowboy bred, when the good Lord calls I'll be cowboy dead|bury me beneath that prairie sky|outlaw wild, outlaw free, rolling along like tumble weed|it's who I am, it's what I've been, for all my life|I'll be cowboy till I die||Till I ride into the sunset|Till the day I take my last breath|Till I finally kiss this world good bye|I'll be cowboy till I die||I'm cowboy born, cowboy bred, when the good Lord calls I'll be cowboy dead|bury me beneath that prairie sky|outlaw wild, outlaw free, rolling along like tumble weed|it's who I am, it's what I've been, for all my life|I'll be cowboy till I die|||
