Cowboy Logic

(Don Cook / Chick Rains)

Cross Keys Pub. Co., Inc / Terrace Music

There's a great American hero
We all look up to
When the times are hard
And the chips are down
He knows just what to do

But 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

Chorus:
That's cowboy logic
Every cowboy's got it
It's in the way he lives his life
And the songs he sings
That's cowboy logic
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

Repeat Chorus

An old cowboy and a young buckaroo were working, ridin' fence
The old hand was testing the kid on his skills and his common sense
He said, Son if you seen 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 awhile 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
The real cowboy's the one in the middle
He ain't there just by fate
Cause first he don't have to drive, and then
He don't have to mess with the gate

Repeat Chorus

He's got a simple solution for just about anything
