A life called rodeo

 

Know's he left it all behind - Doesn't know, what he'll find

His city-boy heart feels all alone

Quit his job and sold the car - Need' the cash to get that far

And build himself a life in San Antonio.

 

The idea came to him one day - After work with bills to pray

On T.V., he saw the rodeo

Decided right them and there - 'Bout New York he didn't care

He'd find his way down to San Antonio.

 

He's had enough of all that hustle - Yeah, today he's finally gonna go

Chasin' nothing but a golden buckle - He's after a life that's called rodeo.

 

Sure rodeo life is hard - But now that he's come this far

Sure as hell ain't gonna give up now

And when that first bronc bucked - He's outa rope and outa luck

But he told himself he'd make it through somehow.

 

Well, a couple years of cowboy dreams - All them cans of pork and beans

It was time for him to ride the rodeo

Well, it didn't go quite how he'd planned - The winner's circle wasn't where he'd land

But it was better than any life he'd ever known.
