Cowboy Is His Name

There's a hundred years of history
and a hundred before that
All gathered in the thinking
Goin' on beneath his hat

The cold flame burns within him
'Til his skin's as cold as ice
And the dues he paid to get here
Are worth every sacrifice

All the miles spend sleepy drivin'
All the money down the drain
All the "if I's" and "nearly's"
All the bandages and pain

All the female tears left dryin'
All the fever and the fight
Are just a small down payment
On the ride he makes tonigh

It's guts and love and glory
One mortal's chance at fame
His legacy is rodeo
And cowboy is his name
