I throwed and I throwed that old rope
At that make-believe steer
Id never been so frustrated
In all my nine years
I was about to give up on that old bail of hay
When from the front porch I heard my Dad say
Chorus
Dont give up now
Cause I know that somehow
Youll figure it out
My little cowboy
I played and I played this old bar
Trying to make the big time
I stayed broke which was cool
Until along came a kid and a wife
Thats when I called up my Dad, I said today is the day
Its time to put this old guitar away... and he said
Chorus
Dont give up now
Cause I know that somehow
Youll figure it out
My little cowboy, yeah
Now Ive got a boy of my own
With his own set of dreams
He works hard to play quarterback
For his pee-wee league team
A blue star on his helmet, our last name on his back
Three downs in a row, all end with a sack... and I hollered out
Chorus
]
Dont give up now
Cause I know that somehow
Youll figure it out
My little cowboy
