The Life Of A Rodeo Cowboy - Chris Ledoux

Well, it really has been nice being 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

Breaking broncs or getting 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 walking away with all that they own

Then your lying hurting hearing someone saying

Give him a hand that’s all that cowboy is taking home

Hot beer and cold stale hamburgers

Makes a meal sort of hard to enjoy

And it kinda makes you think of momma’s chicken

Ah that’s the life of a rodeo cowboy

When you’re down and you’re 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
