Modern Day Cowboy

Modern Day Cowboy Have you ever been to the Rodeo And watch the cowboys ride? There is nothing more exciting Then to see their look of pride. They look at how they score What do the judges say? And see It was judged by far The very best ride of the day. Bruised and all busted up From all the pounding they take They are mostly concerned About getting another stake. The smell of wet hay and leather And the Cinch tight and ready to go Lends excitement to the cowboy’s ride Hoping he puts on a good show They always wear their cowboy hats Western boots and faded blue jeans And They always have a lady Or that’s the way it seems. But a cowboy’s life is not all glamorous If you ask him he might just say When our cowboy days are done is when we just ride away.
