He’s been known to lose more than he wins   He falls down just to get back up again   And when he smiles his face is weathered and leathered and lined   You can tell he’s learned to laugh thru a lot of hard times   He gets by without shoving a drifter and a dreamer   Born to roam rolls his own what you get is what you see here      Once a cowboy always a cowboy   Between the blue sky and unbroken ground he wears his freedom like a crown   Let the whole world around him change that don’t mean a thing   Once a cowboy always a cowboy      She tries to tell him he’s running outta time   But that ain’t what you’d see if you were looking thru his eyes   He’s still chasing sunsets still trying to find   Something better than what he left behind   She tries to love him but somehow she understands   That it was over the moment it began      Once a cowboy always a cowboy   Between the blue sky and unbroken ground he wears his freedom like a crown   Let the whole world around him change that don’t mean a thing   Once a cowboy always a cowboy      He’s been known to lose more than he wins   He falls down just to get back up again      Once a cowboy always a cowboy   Between the blue sky and unbroken ground he wears his freedom like a crown   Let the whole world around him change that don’t mean a thing   Once a cowboy always a cowboy
