My Little Cowboy

I throwed and I throwed that old rope

At that make-believe steer

I'd never been so frustrated

In all my nine years

I was about to give up on that old bail of hay

When from the front porch I heard my Dad say

My little cowboy

You make me so proud, boy

Don't give up now

?Cause I know that somehow

You'll figure it out

My little cowboy

I played and I played this old bar

Trying to make the big time

I stayed broke which was cool

Until along came a kid and a wife

That's when I called up my Dad, I said today is the day

It's time to put this old guitar away... and he said

Hold on there, cowboy

You make me so proud, boy

Don't give up now

'Cause I know that somehow

You?ll figure it out

Yeah, my little cowboy, yeah

Now I've got a boy of my own

With his own set of dreams

He works hard to play quarterback

For his pee-wee league team

A blue star on his helmet, our last name on his back

Three downs in a row, all end with a sack... and I hollered out

That's my little cowboy

You make me so proud, boy

Don't give up now

'Cause I know that somehow

You'll throw that touchdown

Oh, my little cowboy

My little cowboy
