Garth Brooks Garth Brooks - The Cowboy Song Lyrics

Pushin horns werent easy like the movie said it was
And I dont recall no dance hall girls
Or hotel rooms with rugs
You worked hot and tired and nasty
Rode your ponys head too low
There were all the nights you couldnt sleep
cause it was too d___ cold
And youd sing strawberry roan and little joe

Like the time we hit the river
And the rains began to fall
And the water was risin so d___ fast
We thought itd drown us all
We lost a lot of steers that day
And four to five good mounts
But when all the boys rode into camp
We knew thats what counts
And we sang, yippie ti yi yay and amazing grace.

Or the night they broke behind us
And then took us by surprise
I whistled out to bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes
And he rode for all his horse would ride
And I know he done his best
But he crossed over jordan ridin dunny to his death
And we sang bringing in the sheaves and the rugged cross
So when you see the cowboy, hes not ragged by his choice
He never meant to bow them legs
Or put that gravel in his voice
Hes just chasin what he really loves
And whats burnin in his soul
Wishin to God that hed benn born a hundred years ago
Still singin strawberry roan and little joe
