Artist/Band: Merle Haggard
Lyrics for Song: Life Of A Rodeo Cowboy
Lyrics for Album: I'm Always On a Mountain When I Fall [1978]



(Hank Cochran - Jeannie Seely)



Well, it really has been nice bein' with you

But I'm afraid that I've got to leave

As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy

And there's a rodeo down in Mesquite.



That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

Breakin' broncs or gettin' broke

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

And that's the only life I know.



On the day you think your day is the big one

I'm walkin' away with all that they own

Then your lyin' hurtin' hearin' someone saying

Give him a hand that's all that cowboy is taking home.



Hot beer and cold stale hamburgers

Makes a meal sorta hard to enjoy

And it kinda makes you think of momma's chicken

Ah that's the life of a rodeo cowboy.



That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

Breakin' broncs or gettin' broke

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

And that's the only life I know.



--- Instrumental ---



When your down and your really feeling sorry

Well you go for a drink in some bar

Then someone points at you and you hear him whisper

Over there stands a rodeo star.



That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

Breakin' broncs or gettin' broke

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

And that's the only life I know.



That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

Breakin' broncs or gettin' broke

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

And that's the only life I know...
