Pushin' horns
Weren't easy
Like the movie
Said it was
And I don't recall
No dance hall
Girls
Or hotel rooms
With rugs
You worked
Hot and tired
And nasty
Rode your
Pony's head
Too low
There were all the
Nights you
Couldn't sleep
Cause it was
Too damn cold
And you'd sing
Strawberry Roan
And Little Joe
Like the time
When we hit
The river
And the rains
Began to fall
And the water was
Risin' so damn fast
We thought it'd
Drown us all
And we lost
A lot of steers
That day
And four of
Five good mounts
But when
All the boys
Rode into camp
We knew that's
What counts
And we sang
Yipee ti yi yay
And
Amazing Grace
O'er the night
They broke
Behind us
Sayin' it took us
By surprise
I whistled out
To Bonner
I seen the terror
In his eyes and
He rode for
All his horse
Would ride
Then I know
He done his best
But he crossed over
Jordan ridin'
Dunny to his death
And we sang
Bringing ln
The Sheaves
And
The Rugged Cross
So when you see
The Cowboy
He's not ragged
By his choice
He never meant
To bow them legs
Or put that
Gravel in his voice
He's just chasin'
What he really loves
And what's burnin'
In his soul
Wishin' to God
That he'd been born
A hundred years
Ago
Still singin'
Strawberry Roan
And ah
Little Joe..
