A cowboys life is full of broken hearts and broken dreams
Always looking for a fence line or a peaceful running stream
From the gravel in his voice and the dust on his boots
The prairie songs he sings from his Wild Western roots
Willie sang “Cowboys ain’t easy to love”
And Chris Ledoux sang of Western Skies above,
A Cowboy’s heart is full of grit and pride
No Ordinary man can live a Cowboys Life
On his knees he prays before climbs down in the chute
Bucking Bulls and Broncos, tonight he drew a brute
Has to stay in the moment for tomorrow might be gone
He nods his head the gate opens and the Cowboy rides on!
Willie sang “Cowboys ain’t easy to love”
And Chris Ledoux sang of Western Skies above,
A Cowboy’s heart is full of grit and pride
No Ordinary man can live a Cowboys Life
And no matter how hard he tries, this one thing is sound
Freedom comes with a price and it’ll be paid
Even though the years go by and life brings change
Deep in the canyons of my heart this feeling still remains
And I long to be as free as an eagle when she glides
I spend my time dreamin of a Cowboys life
