Cowboy Up is Hank's comedic tough-love pep talk — needling Zane out of his own head and into action, one sandwich-stealing insult at a time. A high-energy, spoken-word-laced honky-tonk track for the friend who tells you the truth even when you don't want to hear it. Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Boy's been moping round the barn all day

Staring at his sandwich like it did him wrong

Talking bout a girl who kissed him once

And ran off before the sun came on

[Verse 2]

I said "Bud, you're a grown man

Not some lovesick calf out in the field"

He just sighed and shoveled feed

Like his broken heart was some kind of shield

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I love the boy, I really do

But there's only so much whining I can take

So I set my fork down,

looked him dead in the eye

And here's the speech I had to make

[Chorus]

Cowboy up, quit your hemming and hawing

Cowboy up, go on and make your move

Life ain't gonna wait around For you to find your groove

Send a smoke signal if you gotta

Call her, drive there, anything will do

But quit sitting here like a sad old hound

Cowboy up, that's what you gotta do

[Verse 3]

Told him "women ain't as hard as you think

She's either scared, or mad, or unsure"

He looked at me like I'd solved world peace

I said "that'll be twenty bucks, and there's more"

[Chorus]

Cowboy up, quit your hemming and hawing

Cowboy up, go on and make your move

Life ain't gonna wait around For you to find your groove

Send a smoke signal if you gotta

Call her, drive there, anything will do

But quit sitting here like a sad old hound

Cowboy up, that's what you gotta do

[Bridge - spoken, playful]

"Don't thank me, boss, just don't screw it up.

And hey — you gonna finish that sandwich?"

[Final Chorus - bigger, triumphant]

He cowboyed up, grabbed his hat and left

Left me with an empty plate and a grin

Somebody's gotta be the voice of reason

Glad it was me who talked some sense in him

Cowboy up — she ain't really gone

Cowboy up — you'll thank me 'fore too long

[Outro - Spoken]

Cowboy up...

now pass the sandwich
