Bareback Jack Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

When I was just a very young lad 

I walked up and I told my dad 

A bareback rider's what I wanna be 

I want the whole world to know about me 

In the rodeo arena I'll take my stand 

I wanna be known as a rodeo man 

I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high 

Chaps and boots reachin' for the sky 

Spurrin' wild with my head throw'd back 

You'll ask whose that well that's Bareback Jack 

You'll ask whose that well that's Bareback Jack 

The years of boyhood now have passed 

It didn't take long to learn the tricks real fast 

Now I'm goin' down the road with my rodeo gear 

And I hope to make the finals in just a few years 

And when my chance comes I'll give it a whirl 

And try to win the championship of the world 

I'll come flyin' from the chutes with my spurs up high 

Chaps and boots reachin' for the sky 

Spurrin' a wild with my head flung back 

You'll all know me, my name's Bareback Jack 

You'll all know me, my name's Bareback Jack 

Well here I am I'm a layin' in bed 

The sun of a buck jumped onto my head 

I'm a-layin' here dyin' and a hurtin' real bad 

Now I wish I'd listened to my old dad 

When he said son you'd better quit foolin' around 

You're gonna get your guts stomped into the ground 

You'll come flyin' from the chute with your tail up high 

That old buckin' horse is gonna throw ya in the sky 

When you come down you're gonna break your back 

And then we'll all know you as Old Crippled Up Jack 

In a wheelchair with a broken back
