Lyrics
Once a Cowboy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's been known to lose more than he wins
He falls down just to get back up again
And when he smiles,
His face is weathered and leathered and lined
You can tell he's learned to laugh
Through a lot of hard times
He gets by without shovin'
A drifter and a dreamer
He gets stoned on a roll your own
What you get is what you see here
Once a cowboy always a cowboy
Between the blue sky and unbroken ground
He wears his freedom like a crown
Let the whole world around him change
That don't mean a thing
Once a cowboy always a cowboy
She tries to tell him he's runnin' outta time
But that ain't what you'd see
If you were lookin' through his eyes
He's still chasin' sunsets
Still tryin' to find
Somethin' better than what he left behind
Now she tries to love him
But somehow she understands
That it was over the moment it began
Once a cowboy always a cowboy
Between the blue sky and unbroken ground
He wears his freedom like a crown
Let the whole world around him change
That don't mean a thing
Once a cowboy always a cowboy
Solo
He's been known to lose more than he wins
He falls down just to get back up again
Once a cowboy always a cowboy
Between the blue sky and unbroken ground
He wears his freedom like a crown
Let the whole world around him change
That don't mean a thing
Once a cowboy always a cowboy
Once a cowboy always a cowboy
Once a cowboy always a cowboy
