The Cowboy Way

Throw a rope on a ranger, hitch up tight
Head out in the early dawn
With good hands beside me
We'll do it up right
Singing this cowboy song

I'm gonna sort and gather the cattle today
Head on to the eastbound train
So come on, boys, let your voices be heard
While we ride on the open range

You can never throw a brand on a honest man
Your ride is too close to the ground
You could never doubt the power of the Almighty's Hand
Just by looking around
You'll never wander astray
While you're living the cowboy way

The alarm just went off
I opened my eyes to a place so far from here
With this no open range, there's no perfect sky
Just one cowboy song to hear

I'm gonna get myself up and get back to my roots
For today is a brand new day
I'm looking in the corner there's mud on my boots
I remember the cowboy way

You can never throw a brand on a honest man
Your ride is too close to the ground
You could never doubt the power of the Almighty's Hand
Just by looking around
You'll never wander astray
While you're living the cowboy way

Yippee ki yay, it's the cowboy way
To keeps us rolling along
Yippee ki yay, oh, we'll take real slow
Singing the cowboy song
Singing the cowboy song
