David Allen Coe - Ride 'Em Cowboy lyrics

TRAVELIN' WITH THE RODEO

THAT'S THE ONLY LIFE I'VE EVER KNOWN

IT STARTED IN NEW MEXICO

MUST'VE BEEN A HUNDRED YEARS AGO

I USED TO BE THE BEST THEY SAY

RIDIN' YOUNG WILD HORSES FOR MY PAY

NOW I'M MUCH TOO OLD IT SEEMS

I ONLY RIDE WILD HORSES IN MY DREAMS

(CHORUS)

THEY USED TO TELL ME, RIDE EM' COWBOY

DON'T LET 'EM THROW YOU DOWN

YOU CAN'T MAKE NO MONEY, IF YOU HIT THE GROUND

THEY JUST SAID, RIDE 'EM COWBOY

DON'T LET 'EM THROW YOU DOWN

YOU'RE THE TOUGHEST COWBOY IN TOWN

(BRIDGE)

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE RHINESTONE COWBOY

I DON'T CARE WHAT GLEN CAMPBELL HAS TO SAY

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO

MIDNIGHT WAS A CHAMPION

HE'S THE ONLY BRONC I COULD NOT RIDE

NOW THEY TELL ME MIDNIGHT'S BLIND

HE ONLY RIDES THE CHILDREN FOR A DIME

LADIES USED TO HANG AROUND

I MUST'VE BEEN A HERO IN THEIR EYES

MY SILVER SPURS ARE RUSTY NOW

LORD I WISH I TRIED TO SETTLE DOWN

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

(LAST VERSE)

(CHORUS)

TRAVELIN' WITH THE RODEO

THAT'S THE ONLY LIFE I'VE EVER KNOWN
