Ride `Em Cowboy — текст песни (David Allen Coe)

Travelin` with the rodeo
That`s the only life I`ve ever known
It started in new mexico
Must`ve been a hundred years ago
I used to be the best they say
Ridin` young wild horses for my pay
Now I`m much too old it seems
I only ride wild horses in my dreams
(chorus)
They used to tell me, ride em` cowboy
Don`t let `em throw you down
You can`t make no money, if you hit the ground
They just said, ride `em cowboy
Don`t let `em throw you down
You`re the toughest cowboy in town
(bridge)
I`ve always been the rhinestone cowboy
I don`t care what glen campbell has to say
What am I supposed to do
Midnight was a champion
He`s the only bronc I could not ride
Now they tell me midnight`s blind
He only rides the children for a dime
Ladies used to hang around
I must`ve been a hero in their eyes
My silver spurs are rusty now
Lord I wish I tried to settle down
(chorus)
(bridge)
(last verse)
(chorus)
travelin` with the rodeo
that`s the only life I`ve ever known
