Verse 2

Like the time we hit the river and the rains began to fall

And the water was rising so damn fast we thought it'd drown us all

We lost a lot of steers that day and four or five good mounts

But when all the boys rode into camp we knew that's what counts

And we sang, Yippie Ti Yi Yay and Amazing Grace

Verse 3

So when you see that cowboy he's not ragged by his choice

He never meant to bow them legs or put that gravel in his voice

He's just chasin' what he really loves and what's burning in his soul

Wishin' to God that he'd been born and hundred years ago

Still singin', Strawberry Roan and Little Joe
