The cowboy lifts the doggie from its bed of snow
Its mother's frozen, lost to winter's harm
The dogie lifted high and dry above the saddle swells
Wrapped securely in the cowboys arms

Cowboy rough, cowboy tough, cowboy tender
Seems it's allways been the cowboy way
Cowboy rough, cowboy tough, cowboy tender
Maybe that's why he's a hero still today!

A cowboy, if he's real, will always show he cares
When family, friends, and critters are in need
He's "right as rain and rhyme" and he's right there every time
Cause loyalty is still the cowboy's creed

Cowboy rough, cowboy tough, cowboy tender
Seems it's allways been the cowboy way
Cowboy rough, cowboy tough, cowboy tender
Maybe that's why he's a hero stil today!

He'll try and lift your spirit when it's cold and low...
He's tought to do just what he has to do
He'll gently wrap you in his lariat of love
Expecially since he's in love with you

Cowboy rough, cowboy tough, cowboy tender
Seems it's allways been the cowboy way
Cowboy rough, cowboy tough, cowboy tender
Maybe that's why he's a hero stil today!

Maybe that's why he's a hero still today!
