When the sun dips low and the workday's through
He's draggin' his tail, in those worn-out boots
The job's got claws, and it's sinkin' in deep
But he ain't got the option to turn the other cheek
That paycheck's small and the weight's all he feels
Tough as the wheel that he turns every day
He might be struggling, but he's still holdin' on
Through the sweat and the pain, he keeps pushin' along
Life's a cowboy ride, and he's tired to the bone
Yet hope's like the moon, it keeps guiding him home
(Home guiding him home)
In the factory's hum, where dreams seem to fade
He's makin' ends meet in the mess life has made
The bills come too quick, and the nights are too long
It's a heartache rhythm, but he plays that same song
The future's unclear, but he fights to believe
That better days are comin', just beyond the breeze
He might be struggling, but he's still holdin' on
Through the sweat and the pain, he keeps pushin' along
Life's a cowboy ride, and he's tired to the bone
Yet hope's like the moon, it keeps guiding him home
(Home guiding him home)
When the storm clouds roll and the thunder does pound
He stands unshaken, feet firm on the ground
'Cause in every hardship, there's a glimmer of light
In the darkest of moments, he's ready to fight
He might be struggling, but he's still holdin' on
Through the sweat and the pain, he keeps pushin' along
Life's a cowboy ride, and he's tired to the bone
Yet hope's like the moon, it keeps guiding him home
(Home guiding him home)
