God saved some lucky men to be cowboys
'Cause no ordinary man can wear the name
Hearts of gold and hands of leather
And that restless spirit no one will ever tame

CHORUS:
Branded by the land
Befriended by the wind
You may never pass this way again
But somethin' in the wind is sayin' that your time is now, boy
Your daddy calls you a drifter
I call you cowboy

That voice of freedom is callin' you down the line
And you don't know where you're goin' but you know what you leave behind
So you're saddlin' up now to chase your dreams
To show yourself and the world what freedom really means

CHORUS

She's got eyes as blue as the sky
Whoever said that cowboys don't cry
Its just somethin' deep inside sayin' your time is now, boy
Your daddy calls you a drifter
I call you cowboy
Yeah, your daddy calls you a drifter
I call you friend
I call you cowboy
I call you cowboy
I call you cowboy
