Stacking hay in the summer, shipping calves in the fall

Rides proud for the brand, he aint one to complain

never has much to say , always thankful for the rain

Forever a cowboy he will remain

The sun rises and sets and hes checking for strays
   D              Cadd9         G/B           D
Knows how to sort things out in all kinds of weather

Through the good and the bad with a soul made of leather
