Not many folks could talk this talk
Let alone show up and walk the walk
Grab a hold of that rope, with a hand in the air
Or strap a guitar on
Most folks jump off with time gets tough
But you don't get this way from backin' up
Not everyone can hang on tight
But a cowboy can

A cowboy can, a real cowboy will
Turn his collar up high with his back to the wind, sling that saddle on again
Well the nights get cold and the highway never ends
Not many folks can live this life, but a cowboy can

I wouldn't wish this on the faint of heart
'Cause I know it ain't for everyone
Some folks might try to look the part
We don't do this just for fun
It's every part of who I am
I've got no quit runnin' through my veins
It ain't an easy way to make a buck
But at the end of the day

A cowboy can, a real cowboy will
Turn his collar up high with his back to the wind, and sling that saddle on again
Well the nights get cold and the highway never ends
Not many folks can live this life, but a cowboy can

The nights get cold and the highway never ends
Not many folks can live this life, but a cowboy can
