Cowboy Logic

(альбом: By The Light Of The Moon: Campfire Songs And Cowboy Tunes - 1997)

There's a great American hero we all look up to
When the times are hard and 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
And 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 it burns a hole down in them jeans
If 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 and every cowboy's got it
It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings
That's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it
He's got a simple solution for just about anything

If it's a job do it put your back into 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 and every cowboy's got it...

An old cowboy and a young buckaroo were working riding fence
The old hand was testing the kid on his skills and his common sense
He said son if you see three men in a pickup dressed alike from boots to hat
Could you tell which one was the real cowboy just from where he sat

Well the kid scratched his head a while and then he said
Well there just ain't no way to know
The old hand grinned and then he said kid you still got a ways to go
Now the real cowboy's the one in the middle and he ain't there just by fate
Cause first he don't have to drive and then he don't have to open no gate

That's cowboy logic and every cowboy's got it...
He's got a simple solution for just about anything
