Sitting on an airplane heading to Cheyenne A bull on his mind and his hat in his hand He tried to fit his saddle in the overhead bin The stewardess said I'm sorry sir you'll have to check it in He's an airborne cowboy His world keeps a spinnin' around and around He's an airborne cowboy He don't know where he's at until he hits the ground Hunkered on the back of a ragin' storm He's diggin' in his spurs a strainin' on his arm Well the gate flew open and the big bull grinned And the next thing you know our boy's a'flyin' again He's an airborne cowboy His world is a spinnin' around and around He's an airborne cowboy He don't know what he's broke until he hits the ground Well, sometimes he gets lucky, but mostly he don't He's bettin' he will but the odds say he won't He's been a little bit touched since the day he was born I guess you gotta be a fool to grab a bull by the horns He's an airborne cowboy His world keeps a spinnin' around and around He's an airborne cowboy He don't know where he's at until he hits the ground He's an airborne cowboy His world keeps a spinnin' around and around He's an airborne cowboy He don't know where he's at until he hits the ground
