"All Around Cowboy" lyrics

Just a broken-down cowboy
All out on his luck
Been through the best of his friends
On a long, lonesome highway in an old pickup truck
He crossed Texas like a hot, dusty wind

He was an all-around cowboy
Back in eighty-nine
From the top, it's been a long way down
Since the whiskey and the women
Started winnin' his time
They rode him high and hard to the ground

He remembers the thrill of being a winner
In the days of his first rodeo
But there's somethin' about winnin'
That don't last forever
Maybe tomorrow things will get better
If the devil lets loose of his soul
He'll be an all-around cowboy again

So he rolls up a smoke, and he sips his Old Crow
Wipes the whiskers that cover his chin
And he smiles as he dreams of old rodeos
He's an all-around cowboy again

He remembers the thrill of being a winner
In the days of his first rodeo
But there's somethin' about winnin'
That don't last forever
Maybe tomorrow things will get better
If the devil lets loose of his soul
He'll be an all-around cowboy again
