There's a great American hero we all look up to When the times are hard and chips are down he knows just what to do Now a cowboy's got a set of rules that he lives by day to day And if you ask for his advice he'll more than likely say If it's a fence mend it if it's a dollar bill spend it Before it burns a hole down in them jeans If it's a load truck it if it's a punch duck it If she's a lady treat her like a queen That's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings That's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it He's got a simple solution for just about anything If it's a job do it put your back into it Cause a little bit of dirt's gonna wash off in the rain If it's a horse ride it if it hurts hide it Dust yourself off and get back on again
That's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it... An old cowboy and a young buckaroo were working ridin' fence The old hand was testin' the kid on his sk**s and his common sense He said son if you see three men in a pickup dressed alike from boots to hat Could you tell which one was the real cowboy just from where he sat Well the kid scratched his head a while and then he said Well there just ain't no way to know The old hand grinned and then he said kid you still got a ways to go Now the real cowboy's the one in the middle and he ain't there just by fate Cause first he don't have to drive and then he don't have to open no gate That's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it... He's got a simple solution for just about anything
