Well first off I'm an Okie    So don't call me Tex    No I don't mind you asking about this cast here on my leg    I had a little bad luck with a bull in Santa Fe    He stomped me good but I'll ride tonight    Cause if I Don't I don't get paid    No I never though about a safer line of work    With a little more security that won't get me hurt      You can take away my pickup    Put me in a black sedan    Hang up my hat, spurs, and boots    Ditch my Copenhagen can    Put me in a high-rise office make    Me wear a suit and tie    But I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die      Unless you're one of us you'll never understand    Cowboy ain't just what I do    It's who I am, It's how I think    It's what I feel, It's the way of life I love    And no it ain't like I had a choice it's in my blood       You can take away my pickup    Put me in a black sedan    Hang up my hat, spurs, and boots    Ditch my Copenhagen can    Put me in a high-rise office make    Me wear a suit and tie    But I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die      You can take away my pickup    Put me in a black sedan    Hang up my hat, spurs, and boots    Ditch my Copenhagen can    Put me in a high-rise office make    Me wear a suit and tie    But I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die      Yeah, I'll be a cowboy 'til the day I die
