(COPYRIGHT 1997)
A cowboy needs a woman, that'll love him true
And the one he'll love, only one he'll choose
Satisfied with a good home, with her love to keep
And the green-back dollar, ain't his only need.
CHORUS:
But his ridi'n and ropi'n, he'll have to do
And his ridi'n in a rodeo, will make her miss him too
Though he'll think about her everyday
Might never take her blues away
A man has to earn his daily pay
The cowboy way.
A cowboy's calloused hands, and a burn from the sun
Shows a cowboy's work, hell it ain't ever done
With his horses flowi'n mane, as he rides out in the range
From a morni'n blue sky, to a warm eveni'n rain.
REPEAT CHORUS
The cowboy way
The cowboy way |
