"Get Up" lyrics

So
You wanna be a cowboy?
You know folks
Cowboys are different

I know lots of cowboys
But none of them ever
Had to tell me
That he was one
They might tell half truths
But what's a few white lies in a story
If no damage is done

A look in the eye, and he shakes your hand
When they hold their ground, there's no doubt where they stand

See it ain't all about fixing fences
Or how many buckles you own
Though you don't have to ride at the big rodeo
You gotta get up every time you get thrown
Just gotta get up every time you get thrown

Ain't none of them perfect
'Cause none of them try to be anything
But exactly himself
You can keep your opinion
He don't need permission or approval
From anybody else

See it ain't all about fixing fences
Or how many horses you own
No you don't have to ride at the big rodeo
Just gotta get up every time you get thrown
You gotta get up every time you get thrown

When life can't get harder than west Texas dirt
You just pull your head low, and push through the herd

See it ain't all about fixing fences
Or how many acres you own
No you don't have to ride at the big rodeo
Just gotta get up every time you get thrown
You gotta get up every time you get thrown
