My Little Cowboy

I throwed and I throwed that old rope At that make-believe steer I'd never been so frustrated In all my nine years I was about to give up on that old bail of hay When from the front porch I heard my Dad say My little cowboy You make me so proud, boy Don't give up now 'Cause I know that somehow You'll figure it out My little cowboy I played and I played this old bar Trying to make the big time I stayed broke which was cool Until along came a kid and a wife That's when I called up my Dad, I said today is the day It's time to put this old guitar away... and he said Hold on there, cowboy You make me so proud, boy Don't give up now 'Cause I know that somehow You'll figure it out Yeah, my little cowboy, yeah Now I've got a boy of my own With his own set of dreams He works hard to play quarterback For his pee-wee league team A blue star on his helmet, our last name on his back Three downs in a row, all end with a sack... and I hollered out That's my little cowboy You make me so proud, boy Don't give up now 'Cause I know that somehow You'll throw that touchdown Oh, my little cowboy My little cowboy
