A Cowboy was Born Lyrics

A cowboy was Born
Off of Horse Power
I think this is pretty close.
Any corrections welcome
Intro G C 2x
Verse 1:
She was holding her breath
As he attempted a prayer
And he was cussing the dust
Rising up in the air
Cause the old cattle trail well it weren??t anyway
For a baby to draw its first breath
Verse 2:
And the unbroken west
Well it was no place to live
Cause it was hard to survive
And it was hell if you did
So he entered this world with a pair of clinched fist
And the first and last tears he shed
And the long horns mowed him a welcome
As a new voice cried from the buckboard
And the Irish they sang sad and lonely
Cause they knew a cowboy was born
Verse 3:
Well the prairie closed in
And a century past
The settlers plowed under
The tall prairie grass
And the cow towns died off in a world changing fast
But the wind kept the spirit alive
Verse 4:
Cause a young boy in Kansas
He Caught a breeze one day
And in a five second rush
he was fightin for eight
He saw it all so clear through the dirt on his face
He knew hen was born to ride
Chorus2
And the long lost heir to the saddle
Finally found his way back home
As he picked up his hat Well the crowed cheered
Cause they knew a cowboy was born
Yeah that day a cowboy was born
Solo G C G C
Bridge:

To the poets of the sage and thorn
A proud legacy of a nation
Thank god the cowboy was born
Yea thank god a cowboy was born
