Rusty Spurs

Chris LeDoux · Songs Of Rodeo & Country / Life As A Rodeo Man [2007]

Rusty spurs a hangin' from a nail their on the wall



Cold winds a blowin' and the snow begins to fall



Old man a dreamin' in his rockin' chair



Thinkin' bout the days gone by wishin' he was there



Rodeo you take a boy and make a man so tall



Drink his youth and cast him by the way



What's he gonna do now that he's through



But sit and dream about the good old days



He used to rodeo and ride 'em mighty fine



Now he's old and crippled but he rides on in his mind



And I can tell, rodeo, you're doin' the same to me



I feel like I'm fifty but I'm only twenty-three



Rodeo you take a boy...



Old picture album he keeps there by his side



Holds cherised mem'ries of broncs he used to ride



He thinks about his old friends and where they are today



Are they still living or have they passed away



Rodeo you take a boy...
