What better way to celebrate the American cowboy than a list of cowboy songs? Cowboys are horse riding, gun carrying, cowboy hat-wearing, cowboy boots wearing, cattle driving, and tough as nails.

A great day to play cowboy songs is on the 4th Saturday in July – the Day of the Cowboy.

Cowboy Songs in the title
 

Cowboys are out in the field rain or shine producing the best beef for all to eat (among other things). When you think of cowboy songs, you automatically think of country music.

However, not all songs on our list are of the country genre. We also included different styles of rock and R&B.
