No, the term we're discussing is "cow-pyrography." The term isn't too complicated. Pyro as in pyromania, pyrotechnics, etc. Cowboys used to read a lot, y'know.

If a cowboy sings the shape-note hymn "Samanthra," it may then be a "cowboy's song," but that doesn't make it a "cowboy song." Subtle distinction? Mebbe so, but I think it makes sense.
