Here’s Hoping There’ll (Always Be a Cowboy) [Live]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Riding tall in the saddle Head high, legs bowed Pushing two hundred cattle Down an old gravel road Hey, that's a man you call Mister He's known around these parts For chasing wild horses And breaking wild hearts Here's hoping there'll always be A cowboy [Chorus] On a long distance ride Under wide open skies His hands never slipped on the reigns A job he can't get away from On a Sunday to pray some But the Lord knows he's never gonna stray Here's hoping therе'll always be A cowboy [Verse 2] He's got a pail of hot water And sleep in his еyes 'Cause there's a heifer down calving She picked the middle of the night Yeah, he works every muscle To pull the calf out alive He sees something precious In that new mother's eyes Here's hoping there'll always be A cowboy [Chorus] Driving herd through the night There comes morning light His work's just begun for the day He knows enough about cattle To know that sometimes it's a battle He never says a lot about a little pain Here's hoping there'll always be A cowboy [Outro] I came down from the city I said I'd arrived At the ranch before daybreak For his last cattle drive Well, my father's getting older And that's understood But he still breaks horses Like I never could Here's hoping there'll always be A cowboy
