Hard Livin’, Cowboy Life

**Verse 1:** Sunrise on the prairie, another day begins With calloused hands and weary bones, I ride against the winds The cattle need a-movin', the range is rough and wide In the heart of the frontier, there's no place to hide **Chorus:** Hard livin', cowboy life, with dust and grit and pain Riding through the thunder, and dancing in the rain From dawn until the twilight, under a star-filled sky Hard livin', cowboy life, it's where my spirit lies **Verse 2:** Nights by the campfire, beneath the endless stars Dreams of home and loved ones, seem so near yet far The lonesome wind it whispers, of places left behind But the open road keeps calling, it's all I know to find **Chorus:** Hard livin', cowboy life, with dust and grit and pain Riding through the thunder, and dancing in the rain From dawn until the twilight, under a star-filled sky Hard livin', cowboy life, it's where my spirit lies **Bridge:** Through trials and tribulations, the trail is never kind But in this rugged landscape, my heart's forever tied The mountains and the valleys, they test my very soul But in this life of freedom, I find myself whole **Chorus:** Hard livin', cowboy life, with dust and grit and pain Riding through the thunder, and dancing in the rain From dawn until the twilight, under a star-filled sky Hard livin', cowboy life, it's where my spirit lies **Outro:** So I'll keep on riding, through the good times and the strife For in this wild, untamed land, I find the strength of life With the horizon always beckoning, and the wind to guide my way Hard livin', cowboy life, is where I'll always stay
