The Cowboy

The legacy of a Cowboy, Can be written in a song; About the misty mountain passes, Where the Cowboy’s life belongs; About the days spent in the saddle, Punching cattle and mending fence; At home with mother nature, Living life in his defense; All the nights spent under stars, With the campfire burning low; Riding range on shifty heifers, In the rain and blowing snow; Icicles hang from his mustache, As he pulls his coat in tight; Steam rolls off his horse’s flanks, Disappearing into the night; He works until the job is done, And is up long before dawn; See the legacy of a Cowboy, Lives on long after he‘s gone.
