Driving all night too many miles to go

Pedal tot he 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



My back side's sore and I'm movin' kinda slow

But when I hit Okie City there's a barrel racer that I know

A little home cookin' and some lovin' to heal my bones

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 sitting on dynamite

You can't make money buddy if get thrown

That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo



Well I might get lucky down in 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 sitting on dynamite

You can't make money buddy if get thrown

That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo



That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
