Cowboy Pride Lyrics

Cowboy Pride
Friend I'm writing you this letter
I think it's a darn sure overdue
You're thinkin' " mind your damn own business"
I wouldn't blame you if you do
You know our range is gettin' smaller
Hear you're all broke up inside
it ain't the Broncos that'll kill you
It's just that damned old cowboy pride.
I hear you left the chin I nah I
You know that makes me kind of sad
shes a great ol spanish land trade
Youre about the best she had ever had
But the cow boss and corporations
seem to naturally colid
and you came off to lose her
with your damned old cowboy pride
Cowboy Pride will always get a man through
But sometimes it'll make a fool of you
Good women are hard to find
talkin bout the faithful kind
Good women are hard to find
I'm talkin' about the faithful kind
I hear you're running with that waitress
and she's under age and wild
You know your wife's the best there is, fella
Would you move in with that child?
She stuck with you through the hard times
Think of all the nights she cried
Will she be another victim
of that same old cowboy pride
well, Guess i've said my peace, friend
its just something i had to do
cuz see Ive made the same mistake as you
before she fell in love with you
So go home it aint to late, son
It's time to put the past aside
So you don't end up like me now
Ridin on old cowboy pride
Cowboy pride can always get a man through
but cowboy pride will make a fool of you
Good women are hard to find
I'm talkin' about the faithful kind
Don't end up like me now
with nothin' left but cowboy pride
