Ridin' The Rodeo Songtext / Lyric

(Vince Gill - Kostas Lazarides)



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 back side'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 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 sittin' on dynamite

You can't make money buddy if get thrown

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



--- Instrumental ---



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

You can't make money buddy if get thrown

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



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