Long Live Cowboys - Aaron Watson

While the world keeps changing he won’t budge an inch

He’d ride lightening and never even flinch

He tips his hat to the ladies and the legends too

Skoal ring on his pocket just like Chris LeDoux

He loves whiskey and rolling smokes

Campfires, songs and old man jokes

Long live cowboys, chasing gold buckle dreams

Pearl snap shirts and old faded blue jeans

Real life cowboys who weather the wind and the rain

Like desperados waiting on a train

Those honky tonk heroes and their six string guitars

Outlaw troubadours beneath those neon stars

Long live cowboys

Well, listen up girl your mama learned first hand

The reason they don’t call him a cowman

He’s a cowboy, he won’t always save the day

He’ll ride off into the sunset even when he should stay

The same thing that stole your heart

Is the same dang thing that’s gonna tear it apart

Long live cowboys, chasing gold buckle dreams

Pearl snap shirts and old faded blue jeans

Real life cowboys who weather the wind and the rain

Like desperados waiting on a train

Those honky tonk heroes and their six string guitars

Outlaw troubadours beneath those neon stars

Long live cowboys

Modern day, real life, cowboys

Naw, he’ll never settle down, you can’t tame his soul

He was just born a hundred years too slow

Long live cowboys, chasing gold buckle dreams

Pearl snap shirts and old faded blue jeans

Real life cowboys who weather the wind and the rain

Like desperados waiting on a train

Those honky tonk heroes and their six string guitars

Outlaw troubadours beneath those neon stars

Long live cowboys

Yeah, long live cowboys
