The Life of a Cowboy
I sing the song you know
And love so well
And when the crowd is gone
I'm just another smiling face
I'm all alone, I'm all alone, yeah
I spend my days along the open rain
I'm always on the ground
I'm up before the crack of dawn
I'm in the Sun, I'm in the Sun
Riding tall, high on me
Papa taught me how to be this way
Her love keeps passing me by
But I refuse to cry
That's the life of a cowboy
Ooh, that's the life of a cowboy, yeah
That's the only life he really know, woah-yeah
That's the life of a cowboy
In his heart and in his mind
He just can't let it go
I used to love the booze and one night stand
(You know I did)
Now that's all in the past
I settled down to clear it all
And open skies, woah-woah
I'm home at last, I'm home at last yeah
Riding tall, high on me, yeah
Papa taught me how to be this way
Well, her love keeps passing me by
But I refuse to cry
That's the life of a cowboy
Ooh, that's the life of a cowboy, yeah
That's the only life he really know, yeah
That's the life of a cowboy, yeah, yeah
In his heart, in his mind
He just can't let it go
Y'all sing it one time
That's the life of a cowboy
That's the only life he really know
Don't knock it now y'all
That's the life of a cowboy
And love so well
And when the crowd is gone
I'm just another smiling face
I'm all alone, I'm all alone, yeah
I spend my days along the open rain
I'm always on the ground
I'm up before the crack of dawn
I'm in the Sun, I'm in the Sun
Riding tall, high on me
Papa taught me how to be this way
Her love keeps passing me by
But I refuse to cry
That's the life of a cowboy
Ooh, that's the life of a cowboy, yeah
That's the only life he really know, woah-yeah
That's the life of a cowboy
In his heart and in his mind
He just can't let it go
I used to love the booze and one night stand
(You know I did)
Now that's all in the past
I settled down to clear it all
And open skies, woah-woah
I'm home at last, I'm home at last yeah
Riding tall, high on me, yeah
Papa taught me how to be this way
Well, her love keeps passing me by
But I refuse to cry
That's the life of a cowboy
Ooh, that's the life of a cowboy, yeah
That's the only life he really know, yeah
That's the life of a cowboy, yeah, yeah
In his heart, in his mind
He just can't let it go
Y'all sing it one time
That's the life of a cowboy
That's the only life he really know
Don't knock it now y'all
That's the life of a cowboy
