I went to the States
To be a cowboy
Met a man
Who taught me the cut
He said, "Boy, you're gonna win it all some day
So I'm gonna work you night and day"
He yelled, "Push that horn"
And I did
'Til my hand was torn and it bled
If it wasn't for him
Wouldn't be where I am
He gave it all
So I could win, so I could win
At my first show
He gave me advice
"Sit deep in that saddle
And try not to die"
So I rode out
Stared that cow in the eye
Dropped the reins and gave it a try
He yelled, "Push that horn"
And I did
'Til my hand was torn and it bled
If it wasn't for him
Wouldn't be where I am
He gave it all
So I could win, so I could win
Now he's in heaven, our training is through
I'll hold up his legacy, that's what I'll do
I miss the time with him on the road
It was the best that I'll ever know
I still hear him yell
"Push that horn"
And I did
'Til my hand was torn and it bled
If it wasn't for him
Wouldn't be where I am
He gave it all
So I could win, and boy did I win
