Well first off I'm an Okie
So don't call me Tex
No I don't mind you asking about this cast here on my leg
I had a little bad luck with a bull in Santa Fe
He stomped me good but I'll ride tonight
Cause if I Don't I don't get paid
No I never though about a safer line of work
With a little more security that won't get me hurt
You can take away my pickup
Put me in a black sedan
Hang up my hat, spurs, and boots
Ditch my Copenhagen can
Put me in a high-rise office make
Me wear a suit and tie
But I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die
Unless you're one of us you'll never understand
Cowboy ain't just what I do
It's who I am, It's how I think
It's what I feel, It's the way of life I love
And no it ain't like I had a choice it's in my blood
You can take away my pickup
Put me in a black sedan
Hang up my hat, spurs, and boots
Ditch my Copenhagen can
Put me in a high-rise office make
Me wear a suit and tie
But I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die
You can take away my pickup
Put me in a black sedan
Hang up my hat, spurs, and boots
Ditch my Copenhagen can
Put me in a high-rise office make
Me wear a suit and tie
But I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die
Yeah, I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die
