My Little Cowboy Lyrics

I've rode and I've rode that old road
With that make belive steel
I'd never been so frustrated in all my nine years
I was about to give up on that old bale of hay
But from the front porch I heard my dad say

My litle cowboy
You make me so proud, boy
Don't give up now
'Cause I know that somehow
You'll figure it out
My little cowboy

I played and I played this old bar
Tryin' to make the big time
I stayed broke which was cool
Until along came a kid and a wife

That's when I called up my dad
And said today is the day
It's time to put this old guitar away
And he said

Hold on there, cowboy
You make me so proud, boy
Don't give up now
'Cause I know that somehow
You'll figure it out
Yeah, my little cowboy, yeah

Now I've got a boy of my own
With his own set of dreams
He works hard to play quarterback
For his Pee Wee league team

Blue star on his hand
Our last name on his back
Free bouncin' the road
All in with a sack
And I hollered out

That's my litle cowboy
You make me so proud, boy
Dont give up now
'Cause I know that somehow
You'll throw that touchdown
Oh, my little cowboy
My little cowboy

The Family Man Songfacts says that Georgian native Craig Campbell had already been playing piano at his mother's church since the age of 10 when he formed his band called Out of the Blue. In 2002 Campbell moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he landed a steady gig at The Stage, one of the biggest clubs in the city's famed Lower Broadway and recorded demo sessions for other singers. After meeting and befriending fellow Georgian Luke Bryan, Campbell was persuaded to start writing his own songs. Record producer Keith Stegall caught one of Campbell's performances at The Stage in 2008 and signed him to his Bigger Picture Music Group. He eventually released his debut single, Family Man in late 2010, which slowly built up radio plays and sales before finally debuting at #86 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of April 9, 2011. The song was included on Campbell's self-titled debut album, which was produced by Steggall and released on April 5, 2011. Read more on Last.fm.
