He's A Cowboy

He's a cowboy

Who rode his dreams into the purple sky

Drove a million head of cattle 'cross the great divide, mhm

He loved a gypsy

Who danced her way into his heart upon a melody

She sang her song like a bird and then just flew away

He still lives with the pain

Yea, he's a cowboy

He's getting old now

Every night he drifts off chasing the prairie wind

Heads out west but come morning he's back again

It's a lonesome love

But he's a cowboy

It's a rough ride

Ridin' into the rain

It's a tough life

Livin' life against the grain

But he'll hold on tight

Until the day he dies

He's a cowboy

He's a cowboy

Searchin' for the broken trail that leads him back to her

The crack of dawn brings just another day of hurt, mhm

He's thinking now boy

Of finding a place to rest his weary mind

Longing for the night he takes his final ride

To the other side

Yea, he's a cowboy

It's a rough ride

Ridin' into the rain

It's a tough life

Livin' life against the grain

But he'll hold on tight

Until the day he dies

He's a cowboy

He's a cowboy, oh ooh

Old ridin' cowboy (Old ridin' cowboy)
