Way up on the mountain there ain`t nobody countin` 
Exactly when the cowboy`s going to fly. 
When you hear the thunder there ain`t no need to wonder; 
He`s saddled up and headed for the sky. 
Because he`s an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy. 
He`s wild as the rockies he rides. 
The cougar in the canyon, the devil`s old companion. 
Riding with a fire in his eyes. 
Mother`s on the hillside, he`s coming in the landslide. 
Lock the door and lookout down below. 
I know you think you taught her but you better hide your daughter. 
I guarantee something`s going to blow. 
Because he`s an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy. 
He`s wild as the rockies he rides. 
The cougar in the canyon, the devil`s old companion. 
Riding with a fire in his eyes. 
Tonight you might see him sitting on the lee rim 
Silhouetted there against the moon. 
Howling like a coyote, hitting every high note. 
Telling you he`d be returning soon. 
Because he`s an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy. 
He`s wild as the rockies he rides. 
The cougar in the canyon, the devil`s old companion. 
Riding with a fire in his eyes. 
Because he`s an idaho cowboy, no tennessee plow-boy. 
He`s wild as the rockies he rides. 
The cougar in the canyon, the devil`s old companion. 
Riding with a fire in his eyes.
