Cowboy way of living was inspired by a few very popular T.V. shows my wife and I would watch. as I wrote this i could see the long cattle drives, leaving the family at home and then the appreciation of family and everything you have when you return.
Lyrics
Cowboy Way Of Living
Ed Sullivan III
6/15/2026
Sunlight peeks through the morning sky
I feel the warmth as it touches my face
Cup of coffee and I'm all saddled up
Moving cattle down the open range
Cowboy life ain't easy but there's just no other way
I'll be home for a little while, I really wish that I could stay
(Chorus)
It's so hard to leave you
but what else can I do
its the cowboy way of living
I was raised thats what you do
Daddy always left momma
She never tried to make him choose
its the cowboy way of living
Yeah Its so hard to leave you
but what else can I do
Rounding all those cattle up
Were gonna push em hard all day
Few more miles until were home
keep an eye out for the strays
Cowboy life ain't easy but there's just no other way
I'll be home for a little while, I really wish that I could stay
(Chorus)
It's so hard to leave you
but what else can I do
its the cowboy way of living
I was raised thats what you do
Daddy always left momma
She never tried to make him choose
its the cowboy way of living
Yeah Its so hard to leave you
but what else can I do
