We get up at four in the morning,
Feed the horses and eat our first meal.
We saddle up and trot to the backside
And wait on daylight, to start this ordeal.
I've heard a-many a young man complaining,
Why must we get there so soon.
The old men just sit there a-grinning
And visiting by the light of the moon.
You see these old fellers understand,
This is the most beautiful time of the day.
Some just sit watching the sun come up,
Others have plenty to say.
This is when you feel the closest to God,
And that sunrise, it's a humbling sight.
But to those fellers always complaining,
They just see it as the end of their night.
So if you're going to cowboy for a living,
You better wipe that sleep from your eyes,
'Cause more often than not you're on the backside,
Just a-waiting on that old sun to rise.

If you unlock it, lock it back.
If you open it, close it.
If you borrow it, return it.
If you don't know, ask.
If you drive it, check the oil.
If you lose it, replace it.
If it doesn't concern you, don't mess with it.
If your turn it on, turn it off.
If you break it, fix it.
If you move it, put it back.
If you throw it down, pick it up.
If you ride it, feed it.
If it drinks water, give it some.
If you fall off, get back on.

IF A MAN THINKS THAT A WOMAN WHO CAN DOG STEERS,
RIDE BRONCS, AND ROPE THE WIND IS TOO MUCH FOR
HIM, HE'S PROBABLY RIGHT!

IF YOU WANT A LITTLE EXTRA ATTENTION,
ASK YOUR HUSBAND IF YOU CAN BORROW
HIS SIX-SHOOTER FOR THE NIGHT.

MAY YOUR HORSE NEVER STUMBLE,
YOUR SPURS NEVER RUST.
MAY YOUR GUTS NEVER GRUMBLE,
YOUR CINCH NEVER BUST!
MAY YOUR BOOTS NEVER PINCH,
YOUR CROPS NEVER FAIL,
WHILE YOU EAT LOTS OF BEANS
AND STAY OUT OF JAIL!
