WELL EVERY YEAR AT CHRISTMAS
WE HAVE A SPECIAL KINDA RODEO
JUST TO HELP THE UNDREPRIVILEGED KIDS
HAVE THEIR OWN LITTLE SHOW

THE LADIES WHO DID THE ORGANIZING
CALLED ON COWBOYS FROM ALL AROUND
TO SADDLE UP THEIR HORSES
AND BRING UM ALL TO TOWN

[private]THERE WERE EVENTS JUST LIKE THE THINGS
WE DO AT RODEOS
BUT SINCE THEY WAS ALL SPECIAL KIDS
WE RODE WITH UM MIGHT SLOW

ALL US COWBOYS LINED UP
AND THE KIDS DREW OUR NAMES FROM A HAT
AND YOU COULD SEE THEIR FACES LIGHT UP
WHEN THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD A MATCH

WELL MY LITTLE FELLOW WAS STILL A SITTING THERE
CAUSE HE COULDN’T GO TO FAR IN HIS OLE WHEELCHAIR
JUST BECAUSE HIS LEGS WERE CRIPPLED
I DIDN’T REALLY CARE

HIS MOMMA LOKING KINDA NERVOUS
WHEN SHE HELPED HIM ON MY HORSE
WE LET’S OUT A TEXAS YELL
CAUSE WE WAS GONNA WIN OF COURSE

HE SAYS TO ME I’LL COWBOY UP
AND I DON’T HAVE NO FEAR
AND I SURELY HAVE ALWAYS WANTED
TO GO OUT AND ROPE A STEER

WE TOOK THE TIME TO SHOW THEM KIDS
SOMETHING SPECIAL IN THE LITTLE GAMES WE PLAYED
AND I CAN STILL SEE THEIR LAUGHTER
ON THEIR FACES TO THIS DAY

FOR US COWBOYS IT WASN’T NOTHING
BUT FOR THOSE KIDS IT CHANGED THEIR MIND
THEY FINALLY GOT TO MOVE FREE
AND BE A COWBOY FOR A LITTLE TIME[/private]
