Ridin’ the Rodeo Songtext
von Vince Gill

Driving all night, too many miles to go
Pedal to the metal, listenin′ to the radio
I got three days to get from Cheyenne to San Antone
That's the life of a cowboy ridin′ the rodeo

Well, my backside's sore and I'm movin′ kinda slow
But when I hit Okie City there′s a barrel racer that I know
Just a little home cookin' and some lovin′ to ease my bones, yeah
That's the life of a cowboy ridin′ the rodeo


Ride cowboy ride, hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long, long time when you're sittin′ on dynamite
Well, you can't make money, buddy, if you get thrown
That's the life of a cowboy ridin′ the rodeo

Well, I might get lucky down in ol′ San Antone
Find a little Texas girl I could call my own
That lone star lovin's the best I′ve ever known
That's the life of a cowboy ridin′ the rodeo

Ride cowboy ride, hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long, long time when you're sittin′ on dynamite
Well, you can't make money, buddy, if you get thrown
That's the life of a cowboy ridin′ the rodeo

Yeah, that′s the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
