Chris Ledoux - Cowboy Up lyrics

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
