I throwed and I throwed that old rope

At that make-believe steer

I’d never been so frustrated

In all my nine years

I was about to give up on that old bail of hay

When from the front porch I heard my Dad say

Chorus

Don’t give up now

‘Cause I know that somehow

You’ll figure it out

My little cowboy

I played and I played this old bar

Trying to make the big time

I stayed broke which was cool

Until along came a kid and a wife

That’s when I called up my Dad, I said today is the day

It’s time to put this old guitar away... and he said

Chorus

Don’t give up now

‘Cause I know that somehow

You’ll figure it out

My little cowboy, yeah

Now I’ve got a boy of my own

With his own set of dreams

He works hard to play quarterback

For his pee-wee league team

A blue star on his helmet, our last name on his back

Three downs in a row, all end with a sack... and I hollered out

Chorus

]

Don’t give up now

‘Cause I know that somehow

You’ll figure it out

My little cowboy
