|
Travelin' with the rodeo |
|
That's the only life I've ever known |
|
It started in new mexico |
|
Must've been a hundred years ago |
|
I used to be the best they say |
|
Ridin' young wild horses for my pay |
|
Now I'm much too old it seems |
|
I only ride wild horses in my dreams |
|
(chorus) |
|
They used 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 just said, ride 'em cowboy |
|
Don't let 'em throw you down |
|
You're the toughest cowboy in town |
|
(bridge) |
|
I've always been the rhinestone cowboy |
|
I don't care what glen campbell has to say |
|
What am I supposed to do |
|
Midnight was a champion |
|
He's the only bronc I could not ride |
|
Now they tell me midnight's blind |
|
He only rides the children for a dime |
|
Ladies used to hang around |
|
I must've been a hero in their eyes |
|
My silver spurs are rusty now |
|
Lord I wish I tried to settle down |
|
(chorus) |
|
(bridge) |
|
(last verse) |
|
(chorus) |
|
travelin' with the rodeo |
|
that's the only life I've ever known |
