Talon Cherry - Cowboys Never Die Lyrics

Dust never settles on the old dirt road
Built my home from sticks and stone
How was I to feed a newborn
When I could barely hold my own

Wake each day at the crack of dawn
Ride all night just to get back home
Burning time to keep the lights on
While my son grows up alone

Newborn son, school starts tomorrow
Time stand still, just for tonight
Bring him joy, and sooth all sorrow
Have no fear, because cowboys never die

Eighteen years at the speed of light
Grew up strong in his father's eyes
Sticks and stones couldn't break those bones
If they tried with all their might

Wake each day at the crack of dawn
Won't break bread till his daddy's home
We both know that some tomorrow
We will break our bread alone

Five years old, eighteen tomorrow
Here today, and gone tonight
You've brought me joy, and soothed all sorrow
Son, ride on, because cowboys never die

Dust never settles on the old dirt road
Built his home from sticks and stone
Working hard to feed a family
In a life he calls his own

Life rides on at the speed of light
But doesn't end with a good man's life
Some might break their bread tomorrow
Some might leave this world tonight

Young man now, grandpa tomorrow
Father's gone, but still in sight
Raise your young to fear no sorrow
Tell your son, that cowboys never die
