| 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 |
