Lyrics
Verse 1
Young bull... talking to me with his
eyes
Black as coal, like the day you die
Saying “Boy I’ll break your bones
Better pack your pride, and get on
home”
Well I don’t think so [spoken]
Verse 2
Well he breaks that gate but I control the
ride
Hit the ground and kiss that bull
goodbye
I lift my hand to the roaring crowd
Tip my hat, to a pretty gal
Chorus
Gotta cowboy soul, living in my boots
Got damn straight, down in my roots
Eight seconds left on every clock
‘Til it’s time for the Lord to stop
The heart inside
This cowboy soul
Verse 3
One by one these riders trade the dream
For a tiny home and a wedding ring
But I work my way to Vegas gold
With no picket fence, until I show...
Chorus
There’s a cowboy soul, living in my
boots
Got damn straight, down in my roots
Eight seconds left on every clock
‘Til it’s time for the Lord to stop
The heart inside...
Bridge
... the soul, of a cowboy
It lives in you
Every time you take a chance
Pull the reins up tight
Your hat down low
Ain’t nothing you can’t do
If you’re true... [spoken]
Chorus (with EDIT)
To the cowboy soul, living in your
boots
You got what it takes, down in your
roots
Live each second on the clock
‘Til it’s time for the Lord to stop
The heart inside...
Tag
The heart inside
The heart inside
Your cowboy soul
– End –
