  • Every time I fall I get back up again
    Cinch my saddle up and find me another wind
    Let it take me where it wants to go
    Another one horse town, another damned old rodeo

    I know this life is crazy
    But I'll be home soon baby

    I'll ride in on a sunny day,
    Sing you a song, steal your heart away
    Like a cowboy
    Hang my hat like I'm here for a while
    Kick off my boots and drive you wild, like a cowboy
    Well baby you know I can't stay long
    You wake up, I'll be gone
    Until then I'll hold on, like a cowboy

    I keep your picture tucked inside my old hat
    It brings me luck, I need a bunch of that
    This midnight winding road runs through my blood
    I can't give it up, like I said I would

    I know it's hard on you but like I always do

    I'll ride in on a sunny day,
    Sing you a song, steal your heart away
    Like a cowboy
    Hang my hat like I'm here for a while
    Kick off my boots and drive you wild
    Like a cowboy
    Well baby you know I can't stay long
    You wake up, I'll be gone
    Until then I'll hold on, like a cowboy

    I'll ride in on a sunny day,
    Sing you a song, steal your heart away
    Like a cowboy
    Hang my hat like I'm here for a while
    Kick off my boots and drive you wild
    Like a cowboy, like a cowboy
    Like a cowboy, like a cowboy

    Every time I fall I get back up again
    Cinch my saddle up and find me another wind Writer/s: Randy Houser, William Brice Long
