The Life of a Rodeo Cowboy Songtext
von Chris LeDoux

Well, it really has been nice bein′ with you
Oh, but I'm afraid that I′ve got to leave
As you know, I'm a rodeo cowboy
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 gonna be the big one
And I′ll be walkin' away with all that they own
But then you′re lyin' hurtin', hearin′ someone sayin′
Oh, 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 your momma′s chicken
Oh, but that's the life of a rodeo cowboy

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

When you′re down and you′re really feelin' sorry
When you go for a drink in some bar
Then someone points at you and you hear him whisper
"Hey, over there stands a rodeo star"

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

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
Breakin' broncs or gettin′ broke
That′s the life...
