Ramblin' fever took him when he was 21
Tonight's rodeo is over but the fight has just begun
He was pounded into the ground while chasin' after his dream
But he ain't one for layin' down and livin' in misery
You gotta' cowboy up, dust yourself off
Get back in the saddle, give it one more try
Sweat and blood, it takes all you got
Cuz' the road to heaven is a hell of a ride
The tough get goin' when the goin' gets rough
Cuz' they know they got to cowboy up
He stopped off at a road side bar
To have him a beer or two
He was leanin' on the juke box
When he saw her across the room
He asked her for a dance
Cuz' he had a case of love at first sight
But he didn't take it personal
When she said you're not my type
Chorus
From business suits to cowboy boots
It hurts when you get thrown
But if you're gonna' be the best
Well you got to get back on
