Verse i

Well first off I'm an Okie

So don't call me Tex

 No I don't mind you askin bout this cast here on my leg

I had a little bad luck

 with a bull in Santa Fe

 He stomped me good but I'll ride tonight

 Cause if I don't I don't get paid

No I never thought about a safer line of work

 With a little more security that won't get me hurt

 You can take away my pick up

 Put me in a black sedan

 Hung up my hat, spurs and boots

 Ditch my Copenhagen can

 Put me in a highrise office

 make me wear a suit and tie

But I'll be a cowboy

 'Til the day I die

Verse ii

Unless your one of us

 You'll never understand

 Cowboyin' ain't just what I do

 It's who I am

 It's how I think, It's what I feel

 It's the way of life I love

No it ain't like I had a choice

It's in my blood
