Every time I fall I get back up again Cinch my saddle up and find me another wind Let it take me where it wants to go Another one horse town, another damned old rodeo I know this life is crazy But I'll be home soon baby I'll ride in on a sunny day, Sing you a song, steal your heart away Like a cowboy Hang my hat like I'm here for a while Kick off my boots and drive you wild, like a cowboy Well baby you know I can't stay long You wake up, I'll be gone Until then I'll hold on, like a cowboy I keep your picture tucked inside my old hat It brings me luck, I need a bunch of that This midnight winding road runs through my blood I can't give it up, like I said I would I know it's hard on you but like I always do I'll ride in on a sunny day, Sing you a song, steal your heart away Like a cowboy Hang my hat like I'm here for a while Kick off my boots and drive you wild Like a cowboy Well baby you know I can't stay long You wake up, I'll be gone Until then I'll hold on, like a cowboy I'll ride in on a sunny day, Sing you a song, steal your heart away Like a cowboy Hang my hat like I'm here for a while Kick off my boots and drive you wild Like a cowboy, like a cowboy Like a cowboy, like a cowboy Every time I fall I get back up again Cinch my saddle up and find me another wind
