Strait George - Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy lyrics

I own this horse and saddle

And that old Cadillac

This broken down horse trailer

And the clothes that are on my back

Well I know that it ain't a hell of alot

But it's all that I can show

My wife left me five years ago

In one of those rodeo towns

I can't say that I blame her much

She just wanted to settle down

Oh God how I miss that woman

It hurt so to see her go

If I was smart I woulda stuck by her

But I'm hooked on this rodeo

Chorus:

And I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy

I'm a little bit over the hill

I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago

But I guess I never will

So I keep on movin from show to show

Hopin to change my luck

My good ol days are just a memory

But I just can't give it up

There was a time I used to do alright

And bring home my share of the dough

But now I'm losin out to the younger boys

I guess I must be gettin slow

But there's one thing you learn from this

You gotta make it on your own

Cause when your on top you've got a million friends

But when your down buddy you're all alone

Repeat Chorus

My good ol days are just a memory

But I just can't give it up
