Jerry Jeff Walker - Rodeo Cowboy lyrics

Dave Gilstrap

Yeah, I work all week just to make a draw,

Sometimes I don't ride 'em at all.

But I'm hooked in and I got to ride that train.

When I get down in that chute,

I can't keep from thinkin' about all that loot,

I'm a ro-do-o de-o de-o cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

CHORUS

That's why I drink a cheeseburger, eat a six-pack

Take a Darvon to kill the pain.

Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall,

I live through it to tell you 'bout it all.

I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

Now, relax and take a deep breath or two

It's a one time shot and then you're through

Hang on, boy, and someday you'll have fame.

When they open up that gate

The bull takes off like a runaway freight

And you're a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

That's why I eat a cheeseburger, drink a six-pack

Take a Darvon to kill the pain

Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall

I live through it just to talk about it all

I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

The cobwebs sure are thick, what's goin' on?

I feel like all my circuits are blown.

I can't remember my number or name.

Gimme a beer or two and I'll feel fine,

'Least it's worked every other time

Cuz I'm a rodeo de-o de-o de cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

Repeat Chorus 2x
