AHe wakes up every morning, long beDfore the sun comes up
And he Aputs his coffee on the cluttered dash of his B7mid size pickup E7truck
The south Aopen pens at daylight, hired Dcowboys are on the way
Well they Emay not look like Lonesome Dove but get’s the job done the Asame
Chorus 1
And he’s a Dcowboy in the E21st Acentury
And he’s Dlearned to do his Ejob a different Away
DWhen he was younger he wouEld ride the bAroncs, now hA/G#e sits in hF#mis pickup and honks
Cause he Dknows the cows will be Ecoming either Away
AHe’s known a few good horses and sDome dogs along the way
ANow he’s got a brand new four wheeled pet and B7Suzuki is it’s E7name
You don’t Ahave to saddle or shoe it or Dfeed it any hay
You jusEt put a gallon of gas in the girl, she’ll ride good everydaAy
Chorus 2
ADnd he’s a cowbEoy in Athe 21st century
And he’s Dlearned to do his Ejob a different Away
WheDn he was younger he would Eride the broncsA, now he sitA/G#s in his piF#mckup and honks
Cause he Dknows the cows will be Ecoming either Away
AHe pays it all in taxes, what his Dcalves bring a sale
AAnd all his cowboy’s wives live in Mexico and B7they keep in toE7uch by mail
As for him Ahis family’s home now and he Dknows that’s all he needs
But somEetimes he feels like he’s stuck inside a cartoon of Ace ReiAd
Chorus 3
And he’s a Dcowboy in the E21st Acentury
And he’s Dlearned to do his Ejob a different Away
When he was Dyounger he would ride the Ebroncs, now he Asits in his A/G#pickup and F#mhonks
Cause he Dknows the cows will be Ecoming either Away
AHe’s switched from boots to Nikes, Dcause they’re easier on his feet
AAnd has a lot less beer these days but he’s sB7till eats too maE7ny sweets
And the caAttle markets down but the hunDters still come so I guess he’d doing well
It ain’Et easy getting by as a rancher these days, hey old man give A‘em hell
Chorus:
And he’s a Dcowboy in the E21st Acentury
