Chris Ledoux - The Only Road You Know lyrics

The rodeo is over and the crowd has all gone home And you have time to walk around these lonely grounds alone You see the empty buckin chutes where broncs and bulls have stood You think about the way they fired the bad ones and the good You ask yourself what calls me on why did I ever go And leave my loved ones far behind to follow rodeo Though you haven't got a dime you know just where to go You'll pack your hat and riggin' sack to another rodeo Some folks say that you're a bum but you know that isn't so You are just a happy guy on the only road you know You bucked down at Mount Isa when you got hot from the swell And you missed one out at Alice Springs but they said you spurred him well Feeling bruised and battered and your sprits mighty low You hear the highway call you on to another rodeo Though you haven't got a dime...
