Lyrics


How You Build A Cowboy
© Don Anderson/Lee Johnson

TAKE AN ORDINARY MAN, FUL OF BLOOD AND GUTS
DRAG HIM AROUND THROUGH THE DIRT AND THE DUST
LEAVE HIM ALONE, IF HE JUST GOT THROWN
CAUSE HE AINT HURT TIL THE BONE IS SHOWIN'

TEACH HIM TO LOVE AND FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT
HOLD HIS BEST GIRL TIGHT ON A SATURDAY NIGHT

THAT'S HOW YOU BUILD A COWBOY
PINCH 'TWEEN HIS CHEEK AND GUM
PULL THE TRIGGER ON HIS REMINGTON
OVER UNDER SHOT GUN, LIKE'S TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN
THAT'S HOW YOU BUILD A COWBOY
GIVE HIM REAL TOUGH HIDE,
FOR MAKIN 8 SECOND RIDES
WHEN THAT CHUTE OPENS WIDE, KNOWS HE'S GOTTA SURVIVE
'CAUSE HE AIN'T GOT A CHOICE
THAT'S HOW YOU BUILD A COWBOY

GIVE HIM AN OLD TRUCK, WHEN YOU'RE DOWN ON YOUR LUCK
HE'LL COWBOY UP AND GET YOU UNSTUCK
WAKE HIM UP AT FIVE, MAKE HIM ROPE AND RIDE
LIKE AN OUTLAW WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE

MAKE A SIMPLE MAN, WHO SAY'S "YES MA'AM"
HE UNDERSTANDS THERES A GREATER PLAN

Chorus then Bridge:

YA GET A LIP KISSIN', WHISKEY SIPPIN', NOTHIN' IN HIS LIFE MISSIN'
COUNTRY BOY DOIN' FINE, LOOKIN' FOR A GOOD TIME
COME ON Y'ALL MAKE SOME NOISE...

Chorus Breakdown 1st ½ the big, then vamps out
