Pushin horns weren't easy like the movie said it was
  And I don't recall no dance hall girls
  Or hotel rooms with rugs
  You worked hot and tired and nasty
  Rode your pony's head too low
  There were all the nights you couldn't sleep
  'Cause it was too damn cold
  And you'd sing "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe"
  Like the time we hit the river
  And the rains began to fall
  And the water was risin' so damn fast
  We thought it'd drown us all
  We lost a lot of steers that day
  And four to five good mounts
  But when all the boys rode into camp
  We knew that's what counts
  And we sang, yippie ti yi yay and "Amazing Grace"
  Or the night they broke behind us
  And then took us by surprise
  I whistled out to Bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes
  And he rode for all his horse would ride
  And I know he done his best
  But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death
  And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross"
  So when you see the cowboy, he's not ragged by his choice
  He never meant to bow them legs
  Or put that gravel in his voice
  He's just chasin' what he really loves
  And what's burnin' in his soul
  Wishin' to God that he'd benn born a hundred years ago
  Still singin' "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe"
