Ride Em Cowboy

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
