Born to Be a Cowboy

It feels like this song was my life – different country, different names, but the same story. This song gets it done with all the balance a cowboy needs to enjoy and do well in life. Nature, bosses, hard work, friends, sweethearts, preachers, plus the skill to use a saddle horse and catch twine, add on age and experience, and you will get the balance not only to be a good hand, but to have the best life you could ever want.  Thank you R.W. Hampton for creating this great piece of music. It really makes me feel proud to be a cowboy.
