Riding the Rodeo Songtext

von Vince Gill

Driving all night too many miles to go
Pedal to the metal and listen to the radio
I got three days to get from shian to san anton
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo

Well my back sides sore and I'm movin' kinda slow
But when I hit oka city
There's a bull racer I know
Just a little home cookin' and
Some lovin' to ease my bones, yeah

Chorus:

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 diamond mines
Well you can't make money
But if you get thrown
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo

Well I might be lucky in old san anton
Find a ittle texas gal I can call my own
That lone star lovin' is the best
I've ever known

Chorus

Yeah, that's the life of a cowboy
