Lyrics

I was a new kid on the circuit, gold buckles in my eyes
But the horse I drew was plenty rank, much to my surprise
I did a double backflip, and landed on my head
This old cowboy limped out in the arena, leaned over me, and said
"You gotta cowboy up when you get throwed down
Get right back in the saddle as soon as you hit the ground
You've heard that the tough get going when the going gets tough
Around here, what we say is, boy, you better cowboy up"
By the end of my last season, they said I was among the best
So I proudly called a girl back home, hopin' she would be impressed
But her mama said she married a guy that I used to call my friend
But before the first tear could fall, these words came back again
You gotta cowboy up when you get throwed down
Get right back in the saddle as soon as you hit the ground
You've heard that the tough get going when the going gets tough
Around here, what we say is, boy, you better cowboy up
Well, it's not an easy lesson to learn in life and love
But it's the only way to go whenever you bite the dust
You gotta cowboy up when you get throwed down
Get right back in the saddle as soon as you hit the ground
You've heard that the tough get going when the going gets tough
Around here, what we say is, boy, you better cowboy up
Around here, what we say is, boy, you better cowboy up
