ARamblin' fever took him when Ehe was 21
Tonight's Arodeo is over but the Bfight has just begun
He was Apounded into the ground while Echasin' after his Adream
But Dhe ain't one for layin' down and Blivin' in misery
[Chorus]
You gotta' Ecowboy up, dust yourself off
Get Eback in the saddle, give it Aone more Btry
ESweat and blood, it takes all you got
Cuz' the Eroad to heaven is a Ahell of a Bride
The Btough get goin' when the goin' gets rough
Cuz' they Aknow they got to cowboy up
He Astopped off at a road side bar
To Ehave him a beer or two
He was Aleanin' on the juke box
When he Bsaw her across the room
He Aasked her for a dance
Cuz' he had a Ecase of love at first Asight
But Dhe didn't take it personal
When she Bsaid you're not my type
[Chorus]
Solo - Hey
From Abusiness suits to cowboy boots 
It Ehurts when you get thrown
But Aif you're gonna' be the best
Well you Bgot to get back on

A E

Ramblin' fever took him when he was 21

A B

Tonight's rodeo is over but the fight has just begun

A E A

He was pounded into the ground while chasin' after his dream

D B

But he ain't one for layin' down and livin' in misery

[Chorus]

You gotta' cowboy up, dust yourself off

E A B

Get back in the saddle, give it one more try

Sweat and blood, it takes all you got

E A B

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

E A

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]

Solo - Hey

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
