[00:07.99]Cowboys ain't easy to love
[00:10.57]And they're harder to hold
[00:15.34]They'd rather give you a song
[00:18.32]Than diamonds or gold
[00:23.09]Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis
[00:27.01]And each night begins a new day
[00:30.34]If you don't understand him
[00:32.24]An' he don't die young
[00:34.35]He'll prob'ly just ride away

[00:42.67]Grow up to be cowboys
[00:47.56]Don't let 'em pick guitars
[00:49.36]Or drive them old trucks
[00:51.29]Let 'em be doctors
[00:53.12]And lawyers and such

[00:58.82]Grow up to be cowboys
[01:03.67]'Cos they'll never stay home
[01:05.27]And they're always alone
[01:07.88]Even with someone they love
[01:13.52]Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms
[01:15.91]And clear mountain mornings
[01:21.06]Little warm puppies and children
[01:23.64]And girls of the night
[01:28.72]Them that don't know him won't
[01:30.49]Like him and them that do
[01:32.41]Sometimes won't know how to take him
[01:35.97]He ain't wrong
[01:36.88]He's just different but
[01:38.30]His pride won't let him
[01:39.60]Do things to make you think he's right
