I was a new kid on the circuit |
|
Gold buckles in my eyes |
|
But the horse I drew was plenty rank |
|
Much to my suprise |
|
I did a double back flip |
|
And landed on my head |
|
This old cowboy limped out in the arena |
|
Leaned over me and said |
|
You gotta cowboy up |
|
When you get throwed down |
|
Get right back in the saddle |
|
As soon as you hit the ground |
|
You heard that the tough get goin' |
|
When the goin' gets tough |
|
Around here what we say is |
|
Boy you better cowboy up |
|
By the end of my last season |
|
They said I was among the best |
|
So I proudly called a girl back home |
|
Hopin' she would be impressed |
|
But her momma said she married a guy |
|
That I used to call my friend |
|
But before the first tear could fall |
|
These words came back again |
|
You gotta cowboy up |
|
When you get throwed down |
|
You get right back in the saddle |
|
As soon as you hit the ground |
|
You heard that the tough get goin' |
|
When the goin' gets tough |
|
Around here what we say is |
|
Boy you better cowboy up |
|
Well its not an easy lesson |
|
To learn in life and love |
|
But its the only way to go |
|
Whenever you bite the dust |
|
You gotta cowboy up |
|
When you get throwed down |
|
Get right back in the saddle |
|
As soon as you hit the ground |
|
You heard that the tough get goin' |
|
When the goin' gets tough |
|
Around here what we say is |
|
Boy you better cowboy up |
|
Around here what we say is |
|
Boy you better cowboy up |
