Lyrics
Nothin' But a Cowboy © 2004, m. drumm
My pa was a cowboy, his daddy was too
If I wasn't a cowboy, don't know what I'd do
Don't hand me no plow boy; no farmin' for me
A cowboy is all that I ever will be
Nothin' but a cowboy
A rough-ridin' cowboy that's me
Sometimes I get lonely (and how boy)
Out on the open prarie
I'll ride into town by the light of the moon
I'll set m'self down in the local saloon
I'll but me a drink and I'll talk to a girl
I'll ask her if she'll give a cowboy a whirl.
Nothin' but a cowboy
A rough-ridin' cowboy that's me
Sometimes I get lonely (and how boy)
Out on the open prarie
Ridin' herd on a round-up
Sure can stir up the dust
Little darlin' I love you
But I do as I must
My pa was a cowboy, his daddy was too
If I wasn't a cowboy, don't know what I'd do
Don't hand me no plow boy; no farmin' for me
A cowboy is all that I ever will be
