Life Of A Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics

Jeannie Seely Life Of A Rodeo Cowboy

He said it really has been nice being with you
But I'm afraid that I've got to leave
As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy
I heard they're riding bulls down in Muskege

[Chorus]
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
Breaking broncs and getting broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
And that's the only life I know

[Verse 2]
On the day you think today is the big one
I'm walking away with all that they own
Then you're lying hurt and hearing someone saying
"Give him a hand, that's all the cowboy's taking home"

[Chorus]
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
Breaking broncs and getting broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
And that's the only life I know

When you're down and you're really feeling sorry
And you go for a drink in some bar
Then someone points at you and ya hear 'em whisper
"Over there stands a rodeo star"

[Chorus]
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
Breaking broncs and getting broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
And that's the only life I know
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
And that's the only life I know
