Wore out boots, and tore up saddle
Broken ropes, from catchin' cattle
Pieces of wire, and a pair of pliers
Out on the range, a cowboy don't need much
Got some irons, in the fire
Caught him a rabbit, in the briar
He had some coffee, but he found no water
Out on the range, a cowboy don't need much
You'll be hungry, you'll be tired
You've got the freedoms you desire
It is something only eagles understand
After work we'll watch the sunset
A cowboy needs no homestead
His blanket will be stars in the sky
Guitar Solo
That ol' grey horse, ain't got no shoes on
but he made it all the way up there, to Tucson
Yeah they had no money, so they left town hungry
Out on the range, a cowboy don't need much
That dusty trail, is still much longer
but his will to get there, is even stronger
There is no church on the prairie, but a lot of prayer
Out on the range, a cowboy don't need much
There is no church on the prairie, but a lot of prayer
Out on the range, a cowboy don't need much
Out on the range, a cowboy don't need much
