Cowboy Up Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

I was a new kid on the circuit 

Gold buckles in my eyes 

But the horse I drew was plenty rank 

Much to my suprise 

I did a double back flip 

And landed on my head 

This old cowboy limped out in the arena 

Leaned over me and said 

You gotta cowboy up 

When you get throwed down 

Get right back in the saddle 

As soon as you hit the ground 

You heard that the tough get goin' 

When the goin' gets tough 

Around here what we say is 

Boy you better cowboy up 

By the end of my last season 

They said I was among the best 

So I proudly called a girl back home 

Hopin' she would be impressed 

But her momma said she married a guy 

That I used to call my friend 

But before the first tear could fall 

These words came back again 

You gotta cowboy up 

When you get throwed down 

You get right back in the saddle 

As soon as you hit the ground 

You heard that the tough get goin' 

When the goin' gets tough 

Around here what we say is 

Boy you better cowboy up 

Well its not an easy lesson 

To learn in life and love 

But its the only way to go 

Whenever you bite the dust 

You gotta cowboy up 

When you get throwed down 

Get right back in the saddle 

As soon as you hit the ground 

You heard that the tough get goin' 

When the goin' gets tough 

Around here what we say is 

Boy you better cowboy up 

Around here what we say is 

Boy you better cowboy up
