Well first off I'm an Okie, so don't call me Tex.
Oh, I don't mind you askin' 'bout this cast here on my leg.
I had a little bad luck with a bull in Santa Fe.
He stomped me good, but I'll ride the knot cuz if I don't I don't get paid.
No, I never thought about a safer line of work, with a little more security, that won't get me hurt.
You can take away my pickup, put me in a black sedan.
Hang up my hat, spurs, and boots; here's my Copenhagen can.
Put me in a high rise office, make me wear a suit an' tie. But I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die.
Unless you're one of us, you'll never understand.
Cowboyin' ain't just what I do, it's who I am.
It's how I think; it's what I feel; it's the way of life I love.
Now it ain't like I had a choice, it's in my blood.
