The Cowboy Song
(1st Verse)
Momma stood on the porch and waved
we all watched him drive away
he was heading off to ride in the rodeo
When he pulled out of the drive
I saw pride in Daddy's eyes
though he tried not to let his feelings show
(Chorus)
And I remember how Momma cried
she hung her head and wiped her eyes and said
Lord, take good care of him
He's filled my life with so much joy
and he'll always be my little boy and i'll miss him
every day that he's gone
and he was off, to ride in San Atone
(2nd verse)
Letters came now and then
from different towns he'd rode in
he finally finished first in Oklahoma

He sent pictures of Santa Fe
said he could see himself someday
settling down just north of town
He said he thought he might qualify
for that Vegas ride but he wouldn't know
until he rode in Sioux Falls
but it wasn't him,
the night we got the call
(2nd chorus)
And I remember how Momma cried
she hung her head and wiped her eyes and said
Lord, take good care of him
He's filled my life with so much joy
and he'll always be my little boy and i'll miss him
every day that he's gone
and we all cried the day,
they brought his saddle home
(Repeat chorus)
