Cowboy With An Afro Lyrics

There's a cowboy out in Texas tough as nails and strong

He's got the boots the spurs and a lasso a mile long

But there's one thing he's hidin' that no one ever knows

Underneath that Stetson hat he's got a secret that grows

He's the cowboy with an afro keepin' it outta sight

He's afraid the other cowboys might not think it's right

So he rides on with his hat pulled low

Hidin' that big ol' 'fro that's ready to show

Now ol' Hank and Slim and the boys in the band

They never guessed what was under that brim so grand

He'd tip his hat and they'd tip theirs too

But beneath that dome was a hairdo no one knew

He's the cowboy with an afro keepin' it outta sight

He's afraid the other cowboys might not think it's right

So he rides on with his hat pulled low

Hidin' that big ol' 'fro that's ready to show

One day he was ridin' on a windy range

When a gust blew his hat off now things got strange

That hat went flyin' his secret revealed

His big ol' afro was finally unsealed!

The cowboys stared then they started to grin

They said Man that's the best hair we've ever seen!

Hank got excited Slim gave a shout

And soon every cowboy was struttin' about

They're the cowboys with afros struttin' proud and tall

Ridin' through the prairies hair bouncin' like a ball

No more hats no more fear

Just big ol' afros that everyone cheers!

At first our cowboy was feelin' just fine

His afro was the talk of every cattle drive line

But as time went on he began to see

He wasn't the only one with hair wild and free

Now every cowboy had the same curly mane

And the original cowboy started feelin' the strain

He missed the days when his hair was his own

Now he's just one in a crowd he's never known

So if you've got somethin' special don't be afraid to share

But remember it's the differences that make us rare

Our cowboy learned it's okay to stand out

'Cause being unique is what life's all about

So keep your afro high or your hat low

Whatever you've got let it show

But if you find everyone's doin' the same

Don't forget the value in your own name

They're the cowboys with afros struttin' proud and tall

Ridin' through the prairies hair bouncin' like a ball

No more hats no more fear

Just big ol' afros that everyone cheers!
