He's A Cowboy

Jenny's 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 you're just a kid
she couldn't tell em that she didn't know so Jenny just lied and told em'

he's a cowboy
riding the range
he's got a painted pony with a flowing mane
and he's chasin the sun 
dodgin the rain
and he don't go running away
when it gets tough
he's made of that stuff that don't let you down, boy
no, he's a cowboy
he's a cowboy

10 years later after a pillow fight
well Jenny and her friends got to talking bout life
What they're gonna do when they graduate
What kind of guy they're gonna marry one day
And All of her friends said the usual stuff
You know, Doctors and lawyers and bankers and such
but jenny didn't even to lie when
she started talking about her dream guy

he's a cowboy
riding the range
he's got a painted pony with a flowing mane
and he's chasin the sun 
dodgin the rain
and he don't go running away
when it gets tough
he's made of that stuff that don't let you down, boy
no, he's a cowboy
he's a cowboy

Jenny married a guy named Mike
And they had a little boy and started a life
Mike ran off 4 yrs 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

riding the range
he's got a painted pony with a flowing mane
and he's chasin the sun 
dodgin the rain
and he don't go running away
when it gets tough
he's made of that stuff that don't let you down, boy
