He’s a Cowboy (Live) Lyrics by Mark Wills

Live At Billy Bob’s Texas: Mark Wills

2005

[Verse 1]
Jenny's daddy was five years gone
By the time that Jenny was six years old
It was her and her mom and her parakeet Pete
In a little blue house at the end of the street
Her friends ask her what her daddy did
And you know how it is when you're just a kid
She couldn't tell 'em that she didn't know
So Jenny just lied and told 'em
[Chorus]
He's a cowboy ridin' the range
He's got a painted pony with a flowin' mane
And he's chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
And he don't go runnin' away when it gets tough
He's made of that stuff
That don't let you down, boy
No, he's a cowboy
He's a cowboy
[Verse 2]
Ten years later after a pillow fight
Well, Jenny and her friends got to talkin' 'bout life
What they're gonna do when they graduate
What kind of guy they're gonna marry one day
And all of her friends said the usual stuff
You know, doctors and lawyers and bankers and such
But Jenny didn't even bat an eye
When she started talkin' 'bout her dream guy
[Chorus]
He was cowboy ridin' the range
He's got a painted pony with a flowin' mane
And he's chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
And he don't go runnin' away when it gets tough
He's made of that stuff
That don't let you down, boy
No, he's a cowboy
Yeah, he's a cowboy
[Verse 3]
Jenny married a guy named Mike
And they had a little boy and they started a life
But Mike ran off four years ago
And now her little boy is five years old
Jenny looks out the window with a smile
At the way life works when you give it a while
With little man runnin' 'round out back
With a stick horse and a little red hat
[Chorus]
He's a cowboy ridin' the range
He's got a painted pony with a flowin' mane
And he's chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
And he don't go runnin' away when it gets tough
He's made of that stuff
That don't let you down, boy
No, he's a cowboy
Yeah, he's a cowboy
Jenny got her that cowboy
