Cowboy

It's the flying dust and the deep thick mud the roar of the cattle thud. It's the long days and short nights And the terror of the unknown fights It's getting up at the crack of dawn And on your way without even a yawn It's forging the raging rivers That give him the shivers It's chaps, spurs and boots And the cock and fire shoots It's the saddles and horses And the long hard courses It's all of this mixed into one With the exception of one more gun It's the life and joy It's the cowboy
