A Cowboy Needs

A cowboy needs a wide brimmed hat
cause a face in shade is cool like that.
 
A cowboy needs a wildrag
to shield his face on dusty drag.
 
A cowboy needs to wear tall boots
for working close to rough stock brutes.
 
A cowboy needs a pair of spurs
the metal music he prefers.
 
A cowboy needs a coiled rope
to stop the bovine on the lope.
 
A cowboy needs a heavy saddle
to sit a horse and see the cattle.
 
A cowboy needs some open space
big cowboy land in his face.
 
A cowboy needs some family fun
every Saturday night with everyone.
 
A cowboy needs a dream or two
while sleeping the short night through.
 
A cowboy needs an early start
cause being cowboy is from the heart.
