Ure Man - Cowboy's Creed Lyrics

I'm just an old cowboy
I rode the Chisholm Trail
You would call me a ghost but listen to my tale
Things have gotten so bad down here and I see your need
So I've come back to give you the Cowboy's creed

Now you may think these are hard hard things to do
But if you don't try, you can't change you
As I rode the dusty trails of life and made my way
I lived and learned all these things were true in the Cowboy's Creed

Now you may ask me how. How did you do it in those days
Well I changed my ways and learned to live up to it
And any time that I had the need, had troubles in my way
I just searched my heart and spirit and found the Cowboy's Creed

You know I died one evening on the way back home
We crossed the river and had only a days ride more
In my sleep I crossed over and I awoke to find new friends
And the words on my stone say
He lived the Cowboys Creed

When you open your mouth tell the truth
Admit it when you make a mistake
Treat a lady like a lady and never gamble more than you can pay
Quiet down and listen to the wise
Teach what you know to be
Stand tall to a fight and never leave until it's squared away
