| Traveling with the rodeo
|
| It’s the only life I’ll ever know
|
| I started in New Mexico
|
| Must have been a thousand years ago
|
| I used to be the best they say
|
| At riding young wild horses for my pay
|
| But now I’m much too old it seems
|
| I only rides wild horses in his dreams
|
| They use to tell me, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down
|
| You can’t make no money if you hit the ground
|
| They say, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down
|
| You’re the toughest cowboy in town
|
| I have always been a traveling cowboy
|
| But now there’s no place left to go What in I supposed to do Seems I’m left out in the cold
|
| Ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down
|
| You can’t make no money if you hit the ground
|
| They say, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down
|
| You’re the toughest cowboy in town
|
| Oh midnight was the champion
|
| He is the only bronc I couldn’t ride
|
| But now I hear old Midnights blind
|
| And rides little children for a dime
|
| Ladies used to hang around
|
| I must have been a hero in their eyes
|
| My silver spurs are rusted now
|
| Lord, I wished I tried to settle down
|
| They use to tell me, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down
|
| You can’t make no money if you hit the ground
|
| They say, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down
|
| You’re the toughest cowboy in town
|
| Traveling with the rodeo
|
| It’s the only life I’ll ever know |
