Well I followed my dad to the rodeo one day
I snuck back behind the chutes just to see him ride
That bronc looked meaner then anything I'd ever seen
My dad just smiled at me an prepared to ride
My Daddy was a cowboy at heart
Wild and free like a rolling stone
My Daddy was a cowboy at heart
More precious then any buckle
Made out of gold yeah
Watching him sing to a million people
Was the greatest thing in my life
With that black Telecaster and a smile on his face
He charmed that crowd
I was so honored to share the stage with him
And there never gonna be a guitar player
That could play like my dad
Cause my Daddy was a cowboy at heart
Wild and free like a rolling stone
My Daddy is a cowboy at heart
More precious then any telecaster
Made out of gold
Me and my Dad used to fix them old Chevy's an Ford's
Behind the old house
I learned the ways of life and the ways of tools
With my Dad
I can go on to say those were the greatest days of my life
And I cried when it was time for him to leave this world
Cause my Daddy was a cowboy at heart
Wild and free like a rolling stone
My Daddy was a cowboy at heart
More precious then any
Chevy Ford or Dodge made out of gold
Yeah
There I was on the top of a Bull ready to ride into space
I was scared'r then nothing but my Dad just smiled at me
He said," Son your gonna be just like you're old Dad one day "
And all my fears died away as that chute opened an I cowboy'd up
Cause my Daddy was a cowboy at heart
Wild and free like a rolling stone
My Daddy was a cowboy at heart
More precious then anything
Made out of gold oh yeah!
