Colorado Cowboy
Music and Lyrics by Peggy Mann

This old cowboy, he?d go ride most everyday
He?d saddle up his horse and leave by the break of day
Sometimes they?d run cattle and sometimes they?d just ride
Sometimes they?d run the river but this year it was dry
And they always rode by Grandma?s house down the road a piece
And when he heard the piano playin; It would bring him to his knees

He see?s his legacy, in every turn he makes
And his old dog struggles far behind, a break he needs to take
He?s a Col0rado Cowboy; his home is on the range
His horse will cut the cattle, it?s just another day
He?s a Colorado cowboy he?s just a step apart
He?s a Colorado cowboy, a cowgirl?s sweetest heart

It?s so Beautiful, these spacious skies
Shine in the reflection of his china blue eyes

The view of the horizon is etched upon his mind
It?s a Colorado morning a blue- sky sunshine
And just below his cowboy hat that?s weathered by the years
A face that?s lined with memories Happiness and tears
And he wouldn?t trade a moment with a city dwellers strife
This horse, this dog this land he rides, he knows no other life

It?s so Beautiful, these spacious skies
Shine in the reflection of his china, blue eyes

Look over there he says, do you see the sleepin Lincoln
How many eyes have looked on you, I know that?s what he?s thinkin
And down below you might see water, but this year it?s dry land
One thing that he knows for certain, this life of his is Grand
He?s a Colorado cowboy he?s just a step apart
He?s a Colorado cowboy, a cowgirl?s sweetest heart

This old cowboy, he?d go ride most everyday
