1st if a Cowboy is what the word says he is
Then Cowboys are few and far between
'Cause a Cowboy is what the word says he is, Yeah

Ain't just what he looks like, it's how he lives
2nd a Cowboy can't care to much about money
'Cause there ain't much money in what he's doin'

It's gotta be the way of life that keeps him ridin' on, Yeah
The way of life will keep him ridin' for a song

chorus

There must be somethin' in the way that the sun rises
There must be somethin' in the way that the sun goes down
That keeps a man sittin' in the saddle h
e must be a dreamer
'Cause he sure likes to keep his feet up off the ground

3rd a cowboy's always readin' when he's workin'
But it's not a book that he's readin' from
He's readin' the horses, the cattle, the land, and sky, Yeah
And it's a gift to read 'em and read 'em right



chorus

4th if a Cowboy is what the word says he is
Then Cowboys are few and Far Between
'Cause how many men choose to live like that today, Yeah
Livin' and breathin' the Cowboy way
