He's a cowboy he was raised in Ohio

He got married and moved further west

Showed up on time for a few awful years

And one night he got drunk and he left

Drove a truck for a while up in Fargo

But he never got used to the smoke

He once tried to settle and get some ahead

But he's still just as wild just as broke

The range has been settled for years now

The old wranglers passed on with their kind

But every now and again you run into these men

These cowboys born out of their time

For some change hell remember your birthplace

Cause there's hardly a town he ain't been

And you can get up and leave any time that you please

For that's one thing that he understands

The range has been settled for years now

The old wranglers passed on with their kind

But every now and again you run into these men

These cowboys born out of their time

He lives out his days now in Denver

His best friend is a bottle of wine

And you don't need to ask anything of his past

It's asleep in the back of his mind

And as the sun rises over the Rockies

It's so strange that he don't even care

When it burns out and sets down in Knsas

He takes the fences round Larimer Square

The range has been settled for years now

The old wranglers passed on with their kind

But every now and again you run into these men

These cowboys born out of their time

Every now and again you run into these men

These cowboys born out of their time
