Many people I meet
Don't seem to understand
Why a person in their senses
Would want to be a cowhand
It's hard to explain in words
The deeper reason why
But I feel brave today
So I'll give it a try
It has to do with nature
The good and also bad
The challenges of elements
Th happy mood and sad
Money isn't the object
Though all must make a'living
The animals aren't a dollar bill
When help to them you're going
Many a cowboy mean and tough
When seeing a snowbound calf
Melts and turns their hard heart to butter
To act on it's behalf
It has to do with horses
A very common affection
Not just a passing fancy
More like a drug addiction
A natural love for horse's
To ride and bein' a saddle
Just leads a person by the hand
To want to be with cattle
It has to do with living
And doing what you please
Concerning occupation choice
One's mind is all at ease
Competing isn't the issue
When riding on the range
Don't the job for the love of it
To some this all sounds strange.
It has to do with trying
With a dream awry and game
If you've Never been Bucked OFF
Means you've Never Gotten ON!
I guess it was the other day
My only day off of the week
I should've stayed indoors
And quite there to seek
But it was nice and warm that day
So something I couldn't hide
Was that feeling
Ol' Mouse I needed to ride
So then I just decided
As long as I was doing this now
I might as well help the neighbor
And put Mouse behind a cow
So to some it's all the mystery
But I've very Clear to me
If I wasn't cowboying for living
I'd still cowboy for free.
