cowboy logic

there's a great american hero we all look up to

when the times are hard and chips are down he knows just what to do

now a cowboy's got a set of rules that he lives by day to day

and if you ask for his advice he'll more than likely say

if it's a fence mend it if it's a dollar bill spend it

before it burns a hole down in them jeans

if it's a load truck it if it's a punch duck it

if she's a lady treat her like a queen

that's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it

it's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings

that's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it

he's got a simple solution for just about anything

if it's a job do it put your back into it

cause a little bit of dirt's gonna wash off in the rain

if it's a horse ride it if it hurts hide it

dust yourself off and get back on again

that's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it. an old cowboy and a young buckaroo were working ridin' fence

the old hand was testin' the kid on his skills and his common sense

he said son if you see three men in a pickup dressed alike from boots to hat

could you tell which one was the real cowboy just from where he sat

well the kid scratched his head a while and then he said

well there just ain't no way to know

the old hand grinned and then he said kid you still got a ways to go

now the real cowboy's the one in the middle and he ain't there just by fate

cause first he don't have to drive and then he don't have to open no gate

that's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it. he's got a simple solution for just about anything
