[Intro]
Heeyah! Ho! Yeah!

[Verse 1]
A cowboy's life is a lonely road
Your back gets bent and your legs get bowed
Ridin' herd from town to town
Make your bed on the cold hard ground
North to the grass covered plains we go
South where the wild winter winds don't blow
Early mornin' til the daylights gone
Roundin' up strays and we keep 'em movin' on

[Chorus]
Just ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
I've been drivin' all over this land
The wide Missouri to the Rio Grande

[Verse 2]
I'll work all day on a dusty trail
Spend my nights in a cowtown jail
Live on the cuff til I draw my pay
Drink and gamblin' and I give it all away
Now all you cowboys gather round
Don't spend your nights on the cold hard ground
Life is short and the road is long
And only fools would sing this song
[Chorus]
Just ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
I've been drivin' all over this land
The wide Missouri to the Rio Grande
Just ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
I've been drivin' all over this land
The wide Missouri to the Rio Grande

[Outro]
Heeyah!
