In the old time west
Man was at his best
In the wake of the new dawn
Cowboys were filled with pride and brawn
Riding across the grassy range
They thought naught much of change
Man's promise's was his word
His voice was always heard
The fire within the night
Kept him warm till light
Old bones spoke of times past
The creak of a saddle was to last
Generations of spirits walk
Within a cowboys talk
They are a different breed
Riding there grande steeds
Passion lights within those eyes
Campfire stories of all they tried
Strength and courage go beyond
The reflection you see in the pond
They know and feel a real romance
In this truth they take the stance
Family and pride is not kept at bay
Within those lines he never strays
For what is ingrained he will do battle
Whether for wife, family or cattle
For this is the cowboy way
Still on the range to this day
