Cowboy Logic

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

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, every cowboy's got it

It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings

That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it

He's got a simple solution to 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, every cowboy's got it

It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings

That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it

He's got a simple solution for just about anything

An old cowboy and a young buckaroo were working, riding fence

The old hand was testing the kid on his skills and common sense

He said, "Son if you seen three men in a pick up

Dressed alike from boots to hat

Could you tell which one was the real cowboy

Just from where he sat?"

The kid scratched his head a while and then he said

"Well, there just ain't no way to know"

The old man grinned and then he said

"Kid, you still got a ways to go"

The real cowboy's the one in the middle

He ain't there just by fate

'Cause first, he don't have to drive

And then, he don't have to mess with the gate

That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it

It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings

That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it

He's got a simple solution to just about anything
