cowboy is a hell of a man

He was a runaway rodeo was his dream
He was ridin' bulls and a bittin' the dust by the time he was seventeen
Sixteen cowboys in an eight dollar room livin' on baloney and beans
Makin' a play for all the buckle freaks in the pretty little tight blue jeans
A cowboy is one hell of a man when he gets bucked off he gets on again
A cowboy is a special breed you leave his hat alone and you leave his women be

From Canada to Houston I guess he tried them all
And it never failed in every bar some redneck started a brawl
But the time and the booze and the broken bones finally put him out to graze
But I'll tell you now he wouldn't change a thing if he could start again today
A cowboy is one hell of a man...
You leave his hat alone and you leave his women be
