"Cowboy Up"

Cowboy Up and be a man.  If you need to ask, you wouldn't understand.  It's in yer attitude and the way you live.  It's in the blood, sweat, and tears you give.  It's the way you think, the way you talk, the way you act, the way you walk.  It's a motto for those who can see it through, in the way they play and the work they do.  There's a quality you see in a man who can Cowboy Up and take a stand.  It's morals and values down deep in yer gut.  To never back down, to never let up.  And ladies, don't think yer exempt, you Cowgirl Up and the same rules are kept.  Cause Cowboys and Cowgirls are of the same breed.  So it's only fair that both live by the creed.
