Lyrics
Just a Cowboy © August, 2004
Music and Lyrics by Gary Hankins
He was just a cowboy
Cut from the real old west
Brought up ridin broncs and bulls
Knew he was the best
Get up on that horse and ride
Those were his words to me
He was just a cowboy
That?s what he?ll always be
Country girls
He?d give a whirl
Get home late at night
No fear or tear
Was ever shown
Only the years
And life?s long scars
Cut deep into his bones
He was just a cowboy
He was just a cowboy
Thrown hard from bulls and bars
Only took one woman
To leave the heart felt scars
He was just a cowboy
A cowboy?s dreams
Like life it seems
Fade low on the horizon
So set your sights
You won?t regret
To what you?ve got
Your eyes on
He was just a cowboy
Cut from the real old west
Brought up ridin broncs and bulls
Different from the rest
He was just a cowboy
His days have come and gone
He was just a cowboy
Oh he?s known it
All along
He was just a cowboy
