Lyrics A Cowboy Is - Chris LeDoux

He was a runaway, rodeo was his dream
He was riding bulls and biting the dust
By the time he was 17
16 cowboys in an eight-dollar room
Living on baloney and beans
Making a play for all the buckle freaks
In the pretty little tight blue jean

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
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

You leave his hat alone and you leave his women be
