He's A Cowboy - Mark Wills

Jenny’s daddy was five years gone

By the time that Jenny was 6 years old

It was her and her mom and her parakeet Pete

In a little blue house at the end of the street

Her friends ask her what her daddy did

And you know how it is when you’re just a kid

She couldn’t tell em' that she didn’t know

So Jenny just lied and told em'

He’s a cowboy riding the range

He’s got a painted pony with a flowing mane

And he’s chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain

And he don’t go running away

When it gets tough

He’s made of that stuff

That don’t let you down, boy

No, he’s a cowboy, he’s a cowboy

Ten years later after a pillow fight

Well, Jenny and her friends got to talking 'bout life

What they’re gonna do when they graduate

What kind of guy they’re gonna marry one day

And all of her friends said the usual stuff

You know, Doctors and lawyers and bankers and such

But Jenny didn’t even bat an eye

When she started talking about her dream guy

He’s a cowboy riding the range

He’s got a painted pony with a flowing mane

And he’s chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain

And he don’t go running away

When it gets tough

He’s made of that stuff

That don’t let you down, boy

No, he’s a cowboy, he’s a cowboy

Jenny married a guy named Mike

And they had a little boy and started a life

Mike ran off 4 years ago

And now her little boy is five years old

And Jenny looks out the window with a smile

At the way life works when you give it a while

Little man running 'round out back

With a stick horse and a little red hat

He’s a cowboy riding the range

He’s got a painted pony with a flowing mane

And he’s chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain

And he don’t go running away

When it gets tough

He’s made of that stuff

That don’t let you down, boy

No, he’s a cowboy

Yeah, he’s a cowboy

Jenny, got her that cowboy…
