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
