A Cowboy Is - Chris Ledoux

He was a runaway rodeo was his dream

He was ridin' bulls and a bittin' the dust by the time he was seventeen

Sixteen cowboys in an eight dollar room livin' on baloney and beans

Makin' a play for all the buckle freaks in the pretty little tight blue jeans

A cowboy is one hell of a man when he gets bucked off he gets on again

A cowboy is a special breed you leave his hat alone and you leave his women be

From Canada to Houston I guess he tried them all

And it never failed in every bar some redneck started a brawl

But the time and the booze and the broken bones finally put him out to graze

But I’ll tell you now he wouldn’t change a thing if he could start again today

A cowboy is one hell of a man…

You leave his hat alone and you leave his women be
