One brave cowboy
One brave man
Who gave his own life and
She'll never see him again

High school sweetheart
Frendship ring
And when they would pass by
Ya know the birds would surely sing
Country came calling
And took his life
When the news hit home
T'was the middle of the night

One brave cowboy
One brave man
Gave his own life and
She'll never see him again

One brave cowboy
One brave man
Gave his own life and
She'll never see him again

Sugar Ray

Sugar Ray is an American rock band from Newport Beach, California. Originally forming in 1986. They originally played rap-rock, with early singles like “Iron Mic” and “Mean Machine”. The band achieved mainstream popularity in 1997 with their more pop-influenced single, “Fly”. The song’s success led the band to shift its style dramatically to the more radio-friendly pop sound with their newer releases. Their best-selling album, 14:59, was released in 1999, and featured popular singles “Every Morning”, “Someday”, and “When It’s Over”.
