Driving all night too many miles to go
Pedal to the metal and 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 ease my bones, yeah
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
Well, you can't make money buddy if get thrown, oh
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo

Well I might get lucky down in ol' San Antone
Find a little Texas gal 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
Well 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
