Intro
Verse
Four's kinda crowded in a pick-up truck
Blank stare out the window last ride no luck
Sippin' cafe' ketchup soup Ten to a booth
It's back to that old ranch if I don't win soon
B Section
Ridin' might be tough But the losin's the worst
Roads kinda rough Goes away when you come in first
It's not for the money That we're ridin' for
No pain no gain but the love of the game when the crowd starts to roar
Chorus
It's a cowboy way
It's a cowboy way
It's a cowboy way
A hard ridin' cowboy way
Verse
Ten years of ridin' hard leaves most your bones broke
When you're hot you're you're lightning On fire no joke
Live for the feeling Of a 8 second ride
Until you try it You won't feel alive
B Section
Sleep six in a motel leave before dawn
Just enough time to slip your boots on
Pull up to the arena Now you hear the crowd
Rosin up the bow when I'm done I like my music loud
Lead/Chorus Music
Bridge
Crowds love the clowns
Bull riders love em' more
Sure they make ya laugh
But at least they just walk away sore
B Section
A long year of ridin' Can't wait to get back home
After two days there I'm itchin' for the road
Wouldn't give it up for nothin' but it's a hard way to go
With a head shake open up the gate It's time for the show
Chorus
It's a cowboy way
It's a cowboy way
It's a cowboy way
A hard ridin' cowboy way
It's a cowboy way
It's a cowboy way
It's a cowboy way
A hard ridin' cowboy way it's a cowboy it's a cowboy it's a cowboy
It's a cowboy way
