From the hills of Kaycee, Wyoming
Where life's wooly and wild
Came a Air Force brat in a cowboy hat
And that Copenhagen smile
From bucking broncs to honky tonks
He always sang a cowboy's song
We were much too young, having too much fun
As we all sang along

We sang 'Life's a Highway'
There's only one way you're gonna get through it
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
Pull your hat down tight
And just LeDoux it!
When that whistle blows
And that crowd explodes
And them pickup men are at your side
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride

From gold buckles to gold records
Once again he was spinning 'round
Took the whole world on
And he turned us on to that 'Western Underground'
And from 'Bareback Jack' to 'This Cowboy's Hat'
The songs were stronger than his pain
He would not slow down from town to town
Like children running thru the rain

We sang 'Life's a Highway'
There's only one way you're gonna get through it
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
Pull your hat down tight
And just LeDoux it!
When that whistle blows
And that crowd explodes
And them pickup men are at your side
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride

We sang 'Life's a Highway'
There's only one way you're gonna get through it
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
Pull your hat down tight
And just LeDoux it!
When that whistle blows
And that crowd explodes
And them pickup men are at your side
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride

When we cross that river Jordan,
With St Peter on the other side
Singing 'Good Ride Cowboy', good ride!
Say 'Good Ride Cowboy', good ride!
