Cowboy On
M. Shelton

[Verse 1]
I met a man, who once held the world in his hands
he gambled it all, guess it wasn’t enough
When I asked him, how’d you come back from that?
Under his hat, I saw his eyes close shut
He said…

[CHORUS] 
You gotta ride on, ride on, 
Saddle up and ride on,
cowboy on

[Verse 2]
Every sunrise, there’s a new trail to ride
every trail, takes you somewhere else
That don’t mean you turn tail and hide
Only one that’s gonna help you is yourself
He said…

[CHORUS] 
You gotta ride on, ride on, 
Saddle up and ride on,
cowboy on

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
As he tossed away his last cigarette
He told me something I’ll never forget
Cowboys don’t flinch and they don’t quit 
They just get back up and get on with it
He said…

[CHORUS] 
You gotta ride on, ride on, 
Saddle up and ride on, ride on
You gotta ride on, ride on, 
Saddle up and ride on, 
cowboy on
