Life Of A Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Well, it really has been nice bein' with you 

But I'm afraid that I've got to leave 

As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy 

And there's a rodeo down in Mesquite 

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy, breakin' broncs or gettin' broke 

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy and that's the only life I know 

On the day you think your day is the big one 

I'm walkin' away with all that they own 

Then you're lyin', hurtin', hearin' someone saying 

Give him a hand that's all that cowboy is taking home 

Hot beer and cold stale hamburgers 

Makes a meal sorta hard to enjoy 

And it kinda makes you think of momma's chicken 

Ah, that's the life of a rodeo cowboy 

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy 

When you're down and you're really feeling sorry 

Well, you go for a drink in some bar 

Then someone points at you 

And you hear him whisper over there stands a rodeo star 

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy 

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
