Cowboys Never Die 
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
©COPYRIGHT 11–7-2025 All Rights Reserved ©

(A Duet with Alan Jackson & George Strait)

(Verse 1 - Alan Jackson)
Well, the billboard lights are blinding, tellin' me I gotta change the shade
To keep up with the fast track music that the young kids have made.
They say the fiddle's dusty, and the waltz tempo's too slow
But I still got my pearl-snap shirt, and a place I wanna go.
I see a lot of smoke and mirrors, a whole lot of flash and noise
But I still hear the truth in a voice that never avoids the simple joys.

(Verse 2 - George Strait)
The fences might be broken, and the dirt roads turnin' black
But there's still a dusty trail to ride, you can't ever turn your back.
I've seen 'em come and seen 'em go, those fly-by-night trends
But a good pair of worn-out boots, they're the kind of style that never ends.
I keep my hat low on my forehead, keep my two steps clean and right
'Cause you don't need a lot of production just to shine your honest light.

(Chorus - Alan & George)
(Alan) 'Cause the steel guitars are still ringing out a cry
(George) And the honest three chords, well, they just won't lie.
(Both) They can bury the records, they can turn off the radio
But the spirit of the old West ain't ever gonna go.
We'll keep riding the line, keep the legacy strong and wide
Cowboys Never Die, they just fade out with the tide.

(Verse 3 - George Strait)
They tried to pave the pastures, tried to clean up all the grit
But I'm still gonna stand my ground, every time the band starts to hit.
I grew up on Marty Robbins songs, and the Texas wind that blew
If you sing about the truth, then your crowd will stick with you.

(Verse 4 - Alan Jackson)
I got a jukebox full of classics, all the good ones from the past
"Don't Rock the Jukebox," man, you know those memories last.
They can call us old-school, they can call us out of time
But the kind of song that touches hearts is the classic paradigm.

(Chorus - Alan & George)
(Alan) 'Cause the steel guitars are still ringing out a cry
(George) And the honest three chords, well, they just won't lie.
(Both) They can bury the records, they can turn off the radio
But the spirit of the old West ain't ever gonna go.
We'll keep riding the line, keep the legacy strong and wide
Cowboys Never Die, they just fade out with the tide.

(Bridge - George)
This ain't about the charts or the latest Hollywood name
(Alan) This is about the stories, and keepin' the fire aflame.

(Outro - Alan & George)
(George) Just two troubadours...
(Alan) Standin' tall and true...
(Both) Yeah, the legends keep on ridin', me and you...
Cowboys Never Die...



Cowboys Never Die 11-7-25

Leaving town

Streets all dressed like summer dreams, but the air’s got winter’s bite
Everyone’s chasin’ glitter ghosts, under neon lights
But out where life moves slow and deep, the garden still holds truth
The best damn gifts ain’t bought or sold—just time, and love, and proof

So take my hand, we’ll ditch the noise
Forget the flash, forget the toys
Where quiet hearts and stars collide
We’ll find the joy we left behind

This Christmas, we’re swapping wants for needs
Planting peace, not chasin' greed
Back to roots, to honest days
Simple hearts in sacred ways

This Christmas, we give what’s ours to give
Not wrapped in bows, but how we live
No shiny tag, but it feels just right
This Christmas, let’s come back to the light

The kids made stars from scraps and string, hung ‘em up with pride
Fire’s cracklin', soup is hot—don’t need much more inside
A neighbor dropped some herbs he grew, tied with twine and care
Funny how the smallest things can bless the open air

Come on in, and drop the weight
No tinsel show, no dinner plate
Can buy the peace we got in here
Just humble hearts and grateful cheer

This Christmas, we’re swapping wants for needs
Plantin’ peace in place of greed
Turnin’ back to the ways we knew
When simple meant beautiful too

This Christmas, we give what’s homegrown
A love that’s real, not overblown
Ain’t boxed up fancy, but it shines so bright
This Christmas, let’s come back to the light

Let the rain tap dance on the roof
Let the soil give back its truth
There’s more grace in a sunrise glow
Than anything a sale could show

Breathe it in, and let it land
The joy that comes with open hands
The Earth still hums its holy tune
We've just been drownin’ it too soon

This Christmas, we’re trading wants for needs
Growin’ peace instead of greed
Walkin’ back to nature’s song
Where love’s been waitin’ all along

This Christmas, we give what’s in our soul
Not what fits in a fancy bowl
It’s not wrapped up, but it’s warm and bright
This Christmas, let’s come back to the light

This Christmas, with hands in dirt we pray
For kindness born in every day
No gold-plated, plastic prize
Just truth beneath these winter skies

This Christmas, we find what still remains
A life that breathes, a world that rains
It’s not wrapped up, but it feels so right
This Christmas… we come back to the light
