Elders were always tough yet had the tender touch
Those days are all behind me I've grown up to be a man
Life of a Kowboy
Life of a cowboy in the South Pocono Mountains of PA
Grew up with my grandfather learning to hay
Drivin' tractors, tending the barn
Pickin' fresh veggies while learning to farm.
Walks thru the fields a sturdy stick as my crutch
I learned so much from those days of yesteryear
Reminisin' days of field parties where we drank lotsa beer.
Treatrin' women with love and respect, not raising my hand
I found my place in this world country music and dance
So before you criticize those cowboys, give the good
ole boys a chance.
