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
