He's a rodeo hand a dyin' breed driftin' like a tumble weed Rollin' where the urge tells him to go And all a cowboy really needs is a tank of gas and entry fees To get him to the next big rodeo Now most athletes take vitamin C, alfalfa pills and super B's The cowboy's don't need all that modern stuff A cowboy's gotta be lean and mean, he trains on caffeine and nicotine And them all night drives help to keep him tough Well he's underfed and under paid and too damn hungry to be afraid Somewhere between crazy and insane A cowboy's ain't afraid to dye and sh** they'd even ride a red eyed lion If you'd just show him where to take the rein He's a rodeo hand, a dyin' breed driftin' like a tumble weed Rollin' where the urge tells him to go And all a cowboy really needs is just a tank of gas and entry fees To get him to the next big rodeo Now the only coach a cowboy needs is a growlin' gut sayin' it's time to eat So tonight cowboy you better make that winning ride And 'bout the only thing that makes him go is that big gold buckle Waitin' down the road and a bad case of too much cowboy pride He's a rodeo hand, a dyin' breed driftin' like a tumble weed Rollin' where the urge tells him to go And all a cowboy really needs is just a tank of gas and entry fees To get him to the next big rodeo He's a rodeo hand, a dyin' breed driftin' like a tumble weed And he's heading to the next big rodeo
