Playin Cowboys - Unplugged
Grew up in the country learning how to do life right
Spending lots of time with friends and hanging out most every night
One thing that taught me the most and always stood out from all the noise
Was the things I learned bout life just playing them ol cowboys
Hearing those Stetson hat good ol boys was always how it'd start
Singing songs bout being leather tough in spite of that broken heart
Ridin' the range for weeks on end and always being all alone
Finally making it back to town with barely nothing but a song
All those fist fights in a bar and always coming out on top
Walking away from the girl you love praying to God for that pain to stop
Rodeo that keeps on calling and wearing on your soul
It's the love of country and all the sweat it takes to make this life whole
Been playing cowboys all of my life and relating to every word
Taking all life has to give without a care in the world
Fighting hard for what I love making the most of all I've heard
Yeah playing them ol cowboys taught me more than I woulda learned
Like getting wild on Friday night an shuttin' the whole place down
Makin' music on that ol six string tearing up that town
Yeah them black hat country outlaws pushing back when no one would
Yeah them ol songs probably played a whole lot more than they should
Been playing cowboys all of my life and believing every word
Taking all life has to give without a care in the world
Fighting hard for what I love making the most of all I've heard
Yeah playing them ol cowboys taught me more than I woulda learned
Now I'm grown up with a family and I cherish all I've heard
Cutting my own path not looking back and never bein' like the herd
But there's times when my rough edges can make it hard to get along
My mind keeps going back to all the words in them songs
Yeah playing cowboys all of my life and believing every word
Taking all life has to give without a care in the world
Fighting hard for what I love making the most of all I've heard
Yeah playing them ol cowboys
Has taught me more than I woulda learned
Spending lots of time with friends and hanging out most every night
One thing that taught me the most and always stood out from all the noise
Was the things I learned bout life just playing them ol cowboys
Hearing those Stetson hat good ol boys was always how it'd start
Singing songs bout being leather tough in spite of that broken heart
Ridin' the range for weeks on end and always being all alone
Finally making it back to town with barely nothing but a song
All those fist fights in a bar and always coming out on top
Walking away from the girl you love praying to God for that pain to stop
Rodeo that keeps on calling and wearing on your soul
It's the love of country and all the sweat it takes to make this life whole
Been playing cowboys all of my life and relating to every word
Taking all life has to give without a care in the world
Fighting hard for what I love making the most of all I've heard
Yeah playing them ol cowboys taught me more than I woulda learned
Like getting wild on Friday night an shuttin' the whole place down

Taking all life has to give without a care in the world
Fighting hard for what I love making the most of all I've heard
Yeah playing them ol cowboys
Has taught me more than I woulda learned
