Lyrics of He's a cowboy

Jennys daddy was 5 years gone
By the time that jenny was 6 years old
It was her and her mom and her parakeet pete
In a little blue house at the end of the street

Her friends ask her what her daddy did
And you know how it is when youre just a kid
She couldn't tell 'em she didn't know so
Jenny just lied and told em'

Hes a cowboy, riding the range
Hes got a painted pony with a flowing mane
And hes chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
And he dont go running away when it gets tough
Hes made of that stuff that dont let you down, boy
No, hes a cowboy
Hes a cowboy

10 years later after a pillow fight
Well jenny and her friends got to talking 'bout life
What theyre gonna do when they graduate
What kind of guy theyre gonna marry one day

And all of her friends said the usual stuff
You know, doctors and lawyers and bankers and such
But jenny didn't even to lie when
She started talking about her dream guy

Hes a cowboy, riding the range
Hes got a painted pony with a flowing mane
And hes chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
And he dont go running away when it gets tough
Hes made of that stuff that dont let you down, boy
No, hes a cowboy
Hes a cowboy

Jenny married a guy named mike
And they had a little boy and they started life
Mike ran off 4 years ago and now her little boy is 5 years old
And jenny looks out the window with a smile
At the way life works when you give it a while
Little man running 'round out back
With a stick horse and a little red hat

Hes a cowboy, riding the range
Hes got a painted pony with a flowing mane
And hes chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain
And he dont go running away when it gets tough
Hes made of that stuff that dont let you down, boy
No, hes a cowboy
Yeah, hes a cowboy
And he got her that cowboy
