Chris Ledoux - Life Of A Rodeo Cowboy lyrics

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 you're 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 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 That's the life of a rodeo cowboy That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
