John Martin - Cowboy Forever lyrics

They were carved from the canyons Raised on the plains Made for stampedes and Cowtown saloons They choked on the trail dust Slept out in the rain Led hard lives that ended too soon That one generation that transformed a nation As descendants of those chosen few We're cowboys, cowboys forever We'll stand together as long as we live and breathe We're cowboys, cowboys forever We've always been, it's what we'll always be Cowboys forever Now they're cops in the city Their lives on the line They're truck drivers hauling that freight They're young soldiers leaving their loved ones behind They're all those who pull their own weight That one generation that transformed a nation As the decedents We all salute here We're cowboys, cowboys forever We'll ride together as long as we live and breathe We're cowboys, cowboys forever We've always been, it's what we'll always be We're cowboys forever We're cowboys, cowboys forever We'll ride together as long as we live and breathe We're cowboys, cowboys forever We've always been, it's what we'll always be We're cowboys forever
