	Story Behind the Song Actually, when my brother and I were working in North Carolina and driving home every weekend to West Virginia, we heard all kinds of country music, about trucks, tractors, carpenters, etc... Well, Jim dared me to write a song about Dozers, and here it is. Lyrics I got a 10 gallon hard hat on my head I got callouses on my hands I was born with diesel in my blood I'm just a workin man. No fancy sports car do I drive Just a pick-up truck for me. I run a wild, buckin, gradin machine I'm a Caterpillar Cowboy. (Chorus) I was born to be A Caterpillar Cowboy Just shoven dirt and rippin rock all day Gonna keep on workin right up till dark thirty Slick er up Roll er down and be on my way. Our Pappy said don't do it to both my brother and me But after we'd seen that black smoke roll we knew it would just have to be. Now we don't wear no silver spurs Can't tie us to an office job! Don't think that we're a dyin breed We're Caterpillar Cowboys! (Chorus) Pappy ran a D-9 dozer back in 1966 My big brother followed right behind just hittin those diesel licks But it tool me just a while to realize, you see I was born to run Mr. Holts machine I'm a Caterpillar Cowboy! (Chorus) Lets go to work fellas!
