I'm down in the dust with my eyes on the line
Crouched low and ready, it's herding time
The sun's climbing high, but my spirits are higher
These cattle ain't ready for my country fire
Herding on the horizon, running these fields all day
With every whistle and shout, I'm leading the way
Under the big blue sky, where the wild winds blow
Herding on the horizon, it's the only life I know
Now the hooves are drumming, the dust's rising high
I weave and I dart under the open sky
With a wag of my tail and a determined gaze
I'm the king of the pasture, lost in the maze
I'm the king of the pasture, lost in the maze
Oh, the thrill of the chase, and the joy of the run
From the rise of the sun till the day is done
I'm more than a friend, I'm a cowboy at heart
Together we herd, never to part
Herding on the horizon, running these fields all day
With every whistle and shout, I'm leading the way
Under the big blue sky, where the wild winds blow
Herding on the horizon, it's the only life I know
