Cowboy Heart
Before you ride into the sunset
Before we say our last goodbye
There’s some things I gotta tell you
Been weighing heavy on my mind
Going on without you, damn, it’s gonna be hard
But I’ll be alright if I’m half the man you are
Chorus:
Strong as a hickory tree
Wise as a man could be
So much more than callouses and scars
You’re John Wayne fighting proud
And you say what you mean right out loud
Whenever I get lost you’re my Northern Star
I’m gonna miss your cowboy heart
When I was seventeen and crazy
I stole your keys and I flipped your truck
You didn’t yell, you didn’t ground me
Just made me work till I paid it off
You were tough but always fair and I bet you never knew
Even when we were fighting I wanted to be just like you
Bridge:
It beats inside me now
But I’ll always remember how (you were)
