Intro
When he was 5 years old, his mom took him down to the round corral to watch his dad work
with a young horse that he called Smokey, and man did that horse buck. But his ol' dad,
he just sat up there and rode him like there was nothin to it. From right then, the boy
gained a whole new respect for the man. And from that day on, he knew that when he grew
up, he wanted to be a cowboy.
Verse 1
Seventeen, a cowboys dreams, aint off fixin fences, once he seen him ride in ol
cheyenne. Ranch routines and his old mans schemes, but this aint where his heart is. But
ya know
his daddy understands,
Verse 2
When new a day comes, father and son sit down to eat their dinner, beneath that big
wyoming sky. His daddy knows hes gotta let him go, his boy cant be a winner if he dont
spread his wings and fly
Chorus
And in his mind hes ridin bulls down in las vegas, Soon hell be on a train that leads to
santa fe. Sewwt voice of freedom echoes down the ages, and calls another cowboy on his way
Verse 3
Well the Fencings done, in the mornin sun, finds him packed an ready. Momma kissed his
cheek then she went inside. His old man well he shook his hand, said son you ride em
pretty,Didnt see the tears that his momma cried.
