Well, a man can't spend his life in reflection Just thinkin' about the way things used to be So I'm gonna take myself a new direction And make myself some brand new memories Well, I spent lots of years out on that highway Ridin' buckin' horses for my grub But now I make my livin' with this ole guitar And just like rodeo it's in my blood And now I'm gonna sing my cowboy music With a country feel and a little touch of soul And I hope you people take a likin' to it, yes I do 'Cause I can't ride the bronco's anymore Now I make you a wager, that I've been in your hometown Ridin' broncs in your big rodeo But now the only time you'll ever see this cowboy come around Is if I'm singin' in a country music show And now I'm gonna sing my cowboy music With a country feelin' and a little touch of soul And I hope you people take a likin' to it, yes I do 'Cause I can't ride the broncos anymore My whole body's gettin' to dang tired and sore And there's a lot of parts on me that don't work no more
