Cowboy Is His Name

The world has gone to hell it seems
But he's out mending fence
Lessons of a hard days work
Teaches common sense
He's humble and he's modest
Hard at work rain or shine
A day off is preparation
He ain't wasting any time

He's True Grit and Lonesome Dove
Bustin' broncs and ranch rodeos
A staple of the west
Like the sage and the buffalo
Always willing to lend a hand
Never asked for praise or fame
A shepherd of the land
Cowboy is his name

He's old for a young man
He'll hideaway his pain
Irrigating beneath the blazing sun
And prayin' for some rain
A true romantic and poet too
Though he hasn't much to say
He may wear his heart out on his sleeve
But there's still work to do today

He's True Grit and Lonesome Dove
Bustin' broncs and ranch rodeos
A staple of the west
Like the sage and the buffalo
Always willing to lend a hand
Never asked for praise or fame
Shepherd of the land
Cowboy is his name

The simple way of life
Some might complicate
He can tell you a story
That could set your life straight
Whatever style he has is his own
Pays no attention to trend
He may wear the same clothes to town
He wore to brand calves in

True Grit and Lonesome Dove
Bustin' broncs and ranch rodeos
A staple of the west
With the sage and the buffalo
Always willing to lend a hand
Never asked for praise or fame
A shepherd of the land
Cowboy is his name
