What Makes a Cowboy Spit

There are dude’s questions in this world That gives a cowboy a fit— Like why is he missin’ digits? Or what makes a cowboy spit!? And there are those tender subjects He just don’t care for a whit— Those dern aggravatin’ questions He just don’t care for a bit! Like why is it you’re bow-legged? And why’s your horse got a bit? And why do cowboys smell that way— It makes him want to just quit! Why do cowboys wear those high heels? And do they all have true grit? Dern! It gets a feller riled up— It just makes him want to … spit! But those days are all forgiven— And our throats we have not slit— We’re workin’ now for a dude ranch And it’s the dudes turn to spit!
