Driving all night too many miles to go

Pedal to the metal 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

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

A little home cookin' and some lovin' to heal my bones

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

You can't make money buddy if get thrown

That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo

Well I might get lucky down in san antone

Find a little texas girl 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

You can't make money buddy if get thrown

That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo

That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
