[Verse 1]

Well, I can still feel the pain from my last fall

Face down in the dust just short of the call

Hurt like hell, but you get back on

'Cause when the buzzer sounds, you take the bull by the horns

Bent me, broke me, tore me in two

Hurt my pride to know the ridin's true

[Chorus]

Then I heard, "Cowboy up, gotta be tough enough

To keep on ridin' when the ridin' gets rough

You know you love what you do, do what you love

Wrap it down, knuckle down, cowboy up!"

[Verse 2]

Well, Cheyenne was the wildest ride of my life

But I gave it my best on a wild 'n' me night

It was all over right out of the gate

And still I held on tight and I tried to make out

Bent me, broke me, tore me in two

Hurt my pride, you know the ridin's true

[Chorus]

Then I heard, "Cowboy up, you gotta be tough enough

To keep on ridin' when the ridin' gets rough

You know you love what you do, do what you love

Wrap it 'round, double down, and cowboy up!"

[Bridge]

Well every time I ride, I can't forget that night

That I should've rode better and I'll never know why

It still hurts every time I try

Stay on as long as that seven second ride

[Chorus]

Oh, cowboy up, gotta be tough enough

Keep on ridin' when the ridin' gets rough

You know you love what you do, do what you love

Wrap it 'round, knuckle down

Then cowboy up, gotta be tough enough

Keep on ridin' when the ridin' gets rough

You know you love what you do, do what you love

Wrap it 'round, knuckle down

Cowboy up, gotta be tough enough

Keep on ridin' when the ridin' gets rough

You know you love what you do, do what you love

Wrap it 'round, knuckle down

[Fading Out]

Cowboy up, gotta be tough enough

Keep on ridin' when the ridin' gets rough

You know you love what you do, do what you love

Wrap it 'round, knuckle down
