He's A Cowboy

Jennys daddy was five 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 couldnt tell em that she didnt 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.
Ten 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 didnt even bat an eye
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 started a life
Mike ran off 4 years ago
And now her little boy is five 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.
Jenny, got her that cowboy...
