Cowboys are bards, to me.
At least in the capacity that the pop-culture image of a cowboy is one that never really existed historically, but was rather a combination of impossible campfire stories and Gene Autry-esque media that wowed eastern Americans who kinda just didn't know better.

1951 Cadillac Series 75 sedan, one of 1,090 examples built that year. The wood trim was crafted by Maurice Schwartz of Pasadena, one of the last custom houses of the classic era. A 1952 Cadillac grille was fitted because alterations were completed in that year.
Cowboy movie star Gene Autry purchased the car for use on his ranch, and eventually sold it in 1989. After a complete refurbishment, the Cadillac was shown at the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance in 2008.

Gene Autry’s Cowboy Code of Honor (1944):
The cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man, or take unfair advantage.
He must never go back on his word or a trust confided in him.
He must always tell the truth.
He must be gentle with children, the elderly, and animals.
He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas.
He must help people in distress.
He must be a good worker.
He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action, and personal habits.
He must respect women, parents, and his nation’s laws.
The cowboy is a patriot.
Bill Reynolds, "Cowboy Codes from Western Heroes" (2017)

MEET WILLIE NELSON'S ICONIC MARTIN GUITAR , 'TRIGGER
Use in tens of thousands of shows, Willie’s workhorse has taken on a unique look. With a large hole above the bridge that nearly reaches the sound hole; the result of flatpicking and strumming on a guitar designed to be played fingerstyle and even the steel frets have been worn down to wavey lines from the extensive playing.
The top and body, meanwhile, has been signed by over one hundred of Nelson’s friends, resulting in an instrument decorated in history unlike any other signed by the likes of Gene Autry, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings to name few from over a hundred signatories.
