Nickel Creek - Ride Cowboy Ride lyrics

Up in the morning at the break of day You'll hear a big bearded cowboy at the chuck wagon say "Gather 'round boys, the coffee's hot on the fire There's a full day of branding, we're heating the iron I want to smell that scorched hair and burning hide The horses have grain boys, they're ready to ride Roll up your bed rolls and jump in your boots Daylight is a-wastin', boys, it's out of the shoots" Come on and ride, cowboy, ride Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride It's a beautiful morning and you've had a good rest You ropers get ready to be at your best Saddle them ponies and tighten the cinch (Yahoo!) Pull on your gloves and take your hat off the fence We'll take the cattle to market, and after they're sold You can all let your hair down, get lazy or bold Riding to town to find a lady or two She'll take you by the arms and shake the dust off your boots Come on and ride, cowboy, ride Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride Come on and ride, cowboy, ride Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride
