(You Ain't A Cowboy) If You Ain't Been Bucked Off - Corb Lund Lyrics
(You Ain't A Cowboy) If You Ain't Been Bucked Off
I was mindin' my business and holdin' the fort
And I still remember how you sallied forth
And my mind, it was busy, warnin' my heart
But, hell, you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off
The story's familiar, the oldest tale in the west
I fell into love then the bird left the nest
Well I guess that there's reasons we let our hard hearts go soft
And you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off
Busted up and broken up with scars you can't see
But if you ain't been bucked off and been throwed a few times
It don't count for nothin' when you make that last ride
Well the years have passed quickly and ain't nothin's the same
Only I don't feel different and you've hardly changed
Well I guess what I'm sayin' is I'll give one last nod
'Cause you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off
Nahh you ain't a cowboy, if you ain't been bucked off
