Still Some Cowboy

There’s still some cowboy in America,
That just won’t go away—
You’ll find it East and West and South and North—
Lingering to this day.

It’s just something that you can’t quite define—
The right way to do a thing—
A walk, some straight talk, an honest handshake—
It makes our hearts still sing.

There’s still some cowboy in America—
Let’s pray it is not killed—
America won’t be America,
If dreams go unfulfilled.
