Cowboy Logic

There's a great American hero, we all look up to
 When the times are hard and the chips are down
 He knows just what to do
 Now a cowboy's got a set of rules that he lives by day to day
 If you ask for his advice, he'll more than likely say
 If it's a fence, mend it, if it's a dollar bill, spend it
 Before if burns a hole down in them jeans
 It it's a load, truck it, if it's a punch, duck it
 If she's a lady, treat her like a queen
 That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
 It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings
 That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
 He's got a simple solution to just about anything
 If it's a job, do it, put your back in to it.
 'Cause a little bit of dirt's gonna wash off in the rain
 If it's a horse, ride it, if it hurts, hide it
 Dust yourself off and get back on again
 That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
 It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings
 That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
 He's got a simple solution to just about anything
 An old cowboy and a young buckaroo were workin', ridin' fence
 The old hand was testin' the kid on his skill and common sense
 He said, "Son, if you seen three men in a pick-up truck
 Dressed alike from boot to hat
 Could you tell which one was the real cowboy just from where he sat?"
 The kid scratched his head awhile and then he said
 "Well, there ain't no way to know"
 The old hand grinned and then he said
 "Kid, you've still got a ways to go
 The real cowboy's the one in the middle
 He ain't there just by fate
 'Cause first he don't have to drive
 And then he don't have to mess with the gate"
 That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
 It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings
 That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
 He's got a simple solution to just about anything
