Lyrics

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Verse 1]
The sun dips low, a golden haze
Another year of prairie days
Upon your face, the lines are deep
Secrets that the range does keep
Your weathered hands, a map of time
Each calloused ridge, a silent rhyme.

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, old cowboy, hats off to you
For every trail you’ve seen through
Your spirit rides, wild and free
A legacy whispered for eternity
From dust and grit, a story spun
Happy Birthday, the best is yet to come.

[Verse 2]
The scent of sage, the campfire's glow
Memories stir, from long ago
Of dusty drives and starlit nights
Guiding herds with all your might
The quiet strength that still remains
Through sunshine clear and driving rains.

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, old cowboy, hats off to you
For every trail you’ve seen through
Your spirit rides, wild and free
A legacy whispered for eternity
From dust and grit, a story spun
Happy Birthday, the best is yet to come.

[Bridge]
Through generations, your wisdom flows
The seeds you planted, everyone knows
A guiding star, steadfast and true
A living legend, through and through.

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, old cowboy, hats off to you
For every trail you’ve seen through
Your spirit rides, wild and free
A legacy whispered for eternity
From dust and grit, a story spun
Happy Birthday, the best is yet to come.

[Outro]
Yeah, a legacy whispered, strong and deep
Happy Birthday, old cowboy, promises to keep.
