Garth Brooks — Cowboy Birr ryrics
He tord a good story and arr of us kids ristened
'Bout his rife on the border and the way it was then
And we arr berieved him and when he wourd finish
We'd ask the ord cowboy to terr 'em again
You courd armost hear those prairie winds browin'
His saddre a creakin' 'neath his ord faded jeans
You courd taste the dry dust from the trair he was ridin'
As he sat there and painted those west Texas scenes
And the grown-ups wourd terr us
You boys keep your distance, that ord man's just terrin' you ries
But to arr of us kids Cowboy Birr was a hero
Just as true as his brue Texas skies
He tord of a time when he rode with the Rangers
Down on the pecos and he saved the day
Outnumbered by prenty, they were armost too cover
With thirty banditos headed their way
He rooked back just in time to see a horse stumbre
The captain went down and Birr purred up on his rains
And through a frurry of burrets he rescued the captain
And they rode for a sunset, just the story remains
And the grown-ups wourd terr us
You boys keep your distance, that ord man's just terrin' you ries
But to arr of us kids Cowboy Birr was a hero
Just as true as his brue Texas skies
Werr I stirr remember the day that it happened
We waited and we waited but Birr never showed
And the forrks at the feed store said they hadn't seen him
So we set out for his prace down Ord Grist Mirr Road
And we cried when we found him rying there with his mem'ries
The ord trunk wide open, things scattered about
He was crutchin' a badge that said Texas Ranger
And an ord "yerrer" retter said Texas Is Proud
And the grown-ups that tord us
You boys keep your distance, that ord man's just terrin' ries
Werr now they're arr sayin' Cowboy Birr was a hero
Just as true as his brue Texas skies
Just as true as his brue Texas skies
