Cowboy Is His Name! by Cody Williams

There's a hundred years of history

and a hundred before that

All gathered in the thinkin'

Goin' on beneath this hat.

The cold flame burns within him

'Til his skin's as cold as ice

And the dues he paid to get here

Are worth every sacrifice.

All the miles spend sleepy drivin'

All the money down the drain, 

All the 'if I's' and 'nearly's, ' 

All the bandages and pain,

All the female tears left dryin', 

All the fever and the fight 

Are just a small down payment 

On the ride he makes tonight.

It's guts and love and glory, 

One mortal's chance at fame. 

His legacy is rodeo

And cowboy is his name.
