Lyrics

BE A BETTER COWBOY 

Words and Music by 
Terry Alan Wade

MY DADDY WAS MY HERO WHEN I WAS FIVE
HE PUT ME ON MY ROCKIN’ HORSE AND A WAY I’D RIDE

I’D PLAY IN THE SADDLE TIL I HEARD HIM SAY:
HOW’S MY LITTLE COWBOY DOIN’ TODAY

WHEN I WAS TEN HE TAUGHT ME RIGHT FROM WRONG,
SAID THAT A MAN MUST BE HONEST AND STRONG

HE WAS MY HERO, IT WAS PLAIN TO SEE
THAT WHEN I GREW UP, THAT’S WHO I WANTED TO BE

BUT WHEN I TURNED TWENTY HE SAID DON’T BE LIKE ME
YOU CAN BE MORE, BUT YOU’LL HAVE TO DREAM

YOU CAN GO FARTHER, AND REACH FOR THE SKY
AND THEN YOU’LL BE A BETTER COWBOY THAN i

SO GIDDY UP, GIDDY UP GIDDY UP LITTLE COWBOY
GIDDY UP, GIDDY UP, GIDDY UP LITTLE COWBOY 
BE A BETTER COWBOY THAN I 

NOW THAT I’M THIRTY, AND I’M ALL GROWN
WITH A COUPLE OF COWBOYS OF MINE OWN

I KNOW WHAT’LL TELL THEM, 
WHEN THEY’RE READY TO RIDE

GO OUT AND BE A BETTER COWBOY THAN I 

GO OUT AN BE A BETTER COWBOY
GO OUT AND MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE

GO OUT AND BE A BETTER COWBOY, 
BE A BETTER COWBOY THAN I
