Christmas for a Cowboy

The winds blowin? from the north, ?it?s bringin? more snow
The tanks all froze over, ?so we gotta? go
The horses gettin'cranky; it?s before light of day
Christmas for a cowboy?s, like any other day

I wonder what they?re doin?, ?in the cities and towns
Out there on the freeways, ? surely racin? around
But we?ll be back in the saddle, ?there?s no other way
Christmas for a Cowboy?s like ?any other day

Chorus
Would I trade it, not likely
Would I give it up, not a chance
I could do somethin? different
But, I?d be missin? the dance
It?s down in your soul
There?s nothin? else to say
So I?ll spend Christmas as a cowboy
Like any other day

TAG after 2nd chorus

So I?ll spend Christmas as a cowboy
Like any other day

INSTRUMENTAL

There are a lot of folks sayin, ?that the spirits all gone
The mountains of gifts ?have made it all wrong
But out here in the hills, ?I haven?t seen much change
Christmas for a cowboy?s, like ?any other day

I?ll be getting? back, ?bout the time supper?s on
Friends and family are here, we?ll sing a few songs
We?re all safe together, ?we?ll bow our heads and pray
And thank God Christmas for a cowboys', ?like any other day
