CHORUS:
There ain't no quit ... There ain't no way
You don't back-down … You mean what you say
Two hundred years ... And it's true today
There ain't no quit ... It's the cowboy way

1.
He was raised-up in the flinthills, on a land as hard as nails
And his daddy's daddy told him, 'bout his life out on the trail
He told him of the life he had, in another place and time
About the men he rode with, back when he was in his prime

2.
Won't abide a quitter, and I won't abide a cheat
I won't abide a liar, and I won't abide a thief
Those kinds of folks are cowards, son,
They'll get what they deserve
The measure of a man, is in his honesty and nerve

CHORUS

3.
Some folks say we all give-in, somewhere along the way
And what we learned about ourselves, is who we are today
The pleasures that I could've had, and what I might've lost
Won't ever measure-up, to what I know it would've cost

CHORUS
