Up and headed to the barn to saddle up Before the sun was even up. Long days in the saddle, fences to mend As my spurs jingle to the sound Of music in the wind. It will bring the day to an end. Life on the ranch is the only life For a Cowboy like me! Yes, cutting wood for the stove in the winter And hunting in the high country for my food. The cold and the wind remind me of the life I choose and the freedom I live for.
