Cowboys will be Cowboys
Cowboys are strong and tough
Never giving up and always gruff
Work harder than any other man on earth
They have been faithful and sweet ever since birth
They wrangle cows and fight the elements
The cows run, and stampede like a herd of elephants
Their friends are always bucking out in smoke
But they never forget them, their always in their thoughts
Their never in the same Cow town, always being fought
Their lasso is always by their side
A Cowboy would never give up a chance to ride
They don’t catch much sleep
Find a way around when the mountain is to steep
Losing their cattle is like losing a kid
Never rely on a bid
Their toughness comes off wrong in some cases
But most know cowboys will be cowboys
And that they will never change
Always wrangling cattle in the range
Cowboys will be cowboys.
