Tim Hall and Buffalo Country

Lyrics

I thought I was dying and I was fine with that. I knew my life had been good and would be till my last breath. I didn’t try to fight death or even call 911. Just kept on working, cause a cowboy keeps on working till he dies then he’s done.
I was doing what loved, so I could hide the pain, the horse I was riding just thought I’d gone insane. Then I wondered where I’d go when they’d ring those golden bells…see there’s a trail to heaven but it’s a highway to hell.
(Chorus)
Mama said do what you like and you’ll never work a day. Never drink from downstream or get above how you were raised. And just keep on working, cause a cowboy keeps on working till he dies, then he’s done.

So me and my daddy never got along so well, and day after day he made me work like hell.
And I said how much longer till we’re done, and he said son a cowboy’s work is never really done.
(Chorus)
Mama said do what you like and you’ll never work a day. Never drink from downstream or get above how you were raised. And just keep on working, cause a cowboy keeps on working till he dies, then he’s done.
I thought I was dying...
