He broke a bull named Bodacious back in '92
Yeah, up in Cheyenne he couldn't lose
He's got a bow legged limp and a shoulder with a chip
He ain't scared to take an 8 second trip
There's a price to be paid in blood and dirt
He's got a few scars from his back breaking work
It's a rough ride
But he's a tough guy
A smoking gun, a lonesome dove
Just what the girls love
He might get thrown
But y'all know he gets back on
Cowboys don't quit
He makes an entrance like Clint
Finishes with true grit
Cowboys don't quit
Always restless for the rodeo
Always homesick for the ranch
He earned every crease in that leather he's wearin'
He's a true myth and a living legend
You won't see him cry but he's got a big heart
He's usually the one riding the dark horse
It's a rough ride
But he's a tough guy
A smoking gun, a lonesome dove
Just what the girls love
He might get thrown
But y'all know he gets back on
Cowboys don't quit
He makes an entrance like Clint
Finishes with true grit
Cowboys don't quit
Tip your hat, dust off your chaps
Get back in the saddle and get with it
'Cause cowboys don't quit
It's a rough ride
But he's a tough guy
A smoking gun, a lonesome dove
Just what the girls love
He might get thrown
But y'all know he gets back on
Cowboys don't quit
He makes an entrance like Clint
Finishes with true grit
Cowboys don't quit
Put that in your Marlboro and smoke it
Cowboys don't quit
