lyrics

Cowboy up, pony down
Spin that six shooter 'round and around
Buckin' them broncs with my own bare hands
My lariat's the chariot to the promised land

Well I wake up with the sun when that rooster crows
Splash water on my face and jump in my clothes
Before I get a biscuit or even light a smoke
I'm ridin' on the range with the rest of them pokes

Get a half hour for lunch, I don't care to eat
Throwin' that rope in the noonday heat
When quittin' time comes, I'm back up in the pen
Ridin' whatever what comes 'til the sun goes down again

I live for the weekend yessiree
I rode in every town from here to Cherokee
I'll travel that distance, near or far
And I ain't gonna stop 'til I'm a rodeo star

When my head hits the pillow, I'm achin' pretty good
Got every bump and bruise that every cowboy should
Someday I'll settle down and get myself a wife
'Til then Mister the rodeos my life

Cowboy up, pony down
Spin them pretty girls 'round and around
I tell everyone of 'em until they understand
My lariat's the chariot to the promised land…
