A Cowboy is All

Hang your spurs on the wall
Lay your saddle to rest
The rodeo is over
Nothing left to test
The years and the miles
Have now caught up to you
Memories and buckles
Show all that you’ve been through
Now that it’s over oh the stories that you have
Share them with your kids and they’ll brag about their dad
He was one of the best and it’s easy to see
A cowboy is all he wanted to be
You’re proud to win the whole thing
A dream had finally come
Now it’s back to working cattle
And raising kids there at home
You’ve been a hand at tooling leather
Building chaps and riggings to
And helping out the rookies at your own rodeo school
Now that it’s over oh the stories that you have
Share them with your kids and they’ll brag about their dad
He was one of the best and it’s easy to see
A cowboy is all he wanted to be
You think about the old days
How you rode upon the stars
The roar of the crowd
And free drinks at the bar
You’re a rodeo legend
Hall of fame bound
Still get the chills when you hear that buzzer sound
Now that it’s over oh the stories that you have
Share them with your kids and they’ll brag about their dad
He was one of the best and it’s easy to see
A cowboy is all he wanted to be
