Real Cowboys are becoming an endangered species...
"Real Cowboys"
Never known a cowboy but I wish I did
hear they're tough 'n rugged but have a lot to give
would love to rope one's heart someday
But most real cowboys have gone away
Real Cowboys love their trademark hats
love spurs 'n dusters worn just like that
They love their beer, they love to eat
and love pretty women, to rub their feet
Chorus
Real Cowboys are a dyin' breed
who thrived on wit'n grit not greed
They're rarely found on city streets
But line the pages of history
Break
Bridge
no urban cowboy can make the grade
ropin' straw bales and sippin', sippin' gaterade
Real Cowboys love ridin' the range
In heat, wind, snow or pourin' rain
Cause a real cowboy can handle pain
same way he handles a horse's reigns
The land they once roamed wild and free
has been bulldozed for malls and streets
where horses hooves lose their pace
along paved memories, of yesterday
Chorus
Real Cowboys are a dyin' breed
who thrive on wit'n grit not greed
but city lights have strung up lines
fencing real cowboys out of their time
No horse'n wagons on dusty trails
no Butterfield stages deliverin' mail
no handshake contracts binding trust.....
Seems we've forgotten the best of us
have we forgotten the best of us
Real Cowboys!
