Cowboy Till I Die

(INTRO)
(inst:toms low+gtr swl+ban filt)
(crowd:hey hey)

Stomp! Stomp! Clap!
Stomp! Stomp! Clap!

(SEC:V1)
(inst:drv gtr+bs lite+drm med)
(voc:M raspy)

Sunrise burnin’ on a backroad town
Steel-toe boots when the hammer comes down
Hands in the dirt, sweat on my brow
Built this life and I’m buildin’ it now

Grandpa’s hands like leather and grain
Mama’s faith runnin’ through my veins
From the front porch swing to the county line
This kind of fire don’t fade with time

(SEC:PRE1)
(inst:tom build+pad lift)
(voc:M lift)

Raise it up — let it ride
This ain’t just a way of life

(SEC:CH1)
(inst:full band+gtr wid+drm big+sub hit)
(voc:M lead+gang)

C-O-W-B-O-Y
That’s who I am — that’s how I’m wired

C-O-W-B-O-Y
Born to run — born to ride

EARNED THE BRAND!
EARNED THE BRAND!

Boots down deep in the red dirt ground
Hands up high when the sun goes down
Hard work, bloodline pride

Cowboy till I die
Till I die
Till I die

(SEC:POST)
(inst:gtr hook+808 sub+clap stom)
(voc:gang wide)

Whoa-oh-oh —
Earned the Brand

Whoa-oh-oh —
We take that stand

Whoa-oh-oh —
Under that wide-open sky

Cowboy till I die

(SEC:V2)
(inst:full band+ban tex+drm drive)
(voc:M grit)

Friday night and the chute gate slams
Eight seconds turns a boy to a man
Bleachers packed and the dust flies high
That’s where legends learn to ride

Little kid in a hand-me-down hat
Dreamin’ big and there ain’t no cap
We pass it down, we carry it strong
That cowboy heartbeat lives on and on

(SEC:PRE2)
(inst:build big+cym swl)
(voc:M lift)

Raise it up — let it ride
This is legacy amplified

(SEC:CH2)
(inst:full max+gtr dbl+sub hit)
(voc:M+gang)

C-O-W-B-O-Y
That’s who I am — that’s how I’m wired

C-O-W-B-O-Y
Born to run — born to ride

EARNED THE BRAND!
EARNED THE BRAND!

Boots down deep in the red dirt ground
Hands up high when the sun goes down
Hard work, bloodline pride

Cowboy till I die

(SEC:BRG)
(inst:half drm+bs sub+vox close)

It’s more than a hat
More than a name
More than a buckle
Or a little fame

(inst:stop hit)

You ask me who I am —

(crowd:C-O-W-B-O-Y!)

(SEC:CH3 KEY+)
(inst:key+full max+gtr wid+tom big)
(voc:M power+gang dbl)

C-O-W-B-O-Y
Hear the whole damn town reply

C-O-W-B-O-Y
Underneath that wide-open sky

EARNED THE BRAND!
EARNED THE BRAND!

Hard work, bloodline pride
Cowboy till I die

Till I die —
Whoa-oh-oh
Till I die
