Chris Ledoux Bull Rider Lyrics

Bull Rider Lyrics

I was sittin' the a barroom one rainy afternoon



Tellin' stories about rodeo and listening to a tune



The rodeo starts tomorrow in this one horse town



So Bill took our names ane put our entries down







I went to the office the next day to see



What bareback horse I had and pay me fees



I looked on the list but my name wasn't found



I thought Bill might have forgot to put me down







I looked on the board and I happened to find



My name was on another list I was in the bull ridin'



My knees began to knock and my face began to sweat



And I heaved and gagged on the rodeo office steps







Well I may be a fool but a coward I'm not



So I borrowed a bull rope with a bell in the knot



I walked in the arena with them other bull ridin' fools



And walked down to the chutes and found my bull







Then I put my rope in the middle of his back



I had some cowboy pull out the slack



And then I wrapped the tail around my hand and back and said



Boy's open the gate just a little bitty crack







Well the bull hit the gate with his head



And I could see over his hump that his eyes were red



He bailed out of there with a big snort and beller



And something inside of me told me I was yeller







Well the dust and hairs and flies come off his hump



It whisp to my nose as he made another jump



And the stink of it all was more than I could stand



So I jerked my wrap and opened my hand







Well he jumped in the air and made one more turn



As the rope slid through my hand it sure did burn



He flang me down in a great big heap and 



Right in the middle of me he did leap







With his feet on my belly standin' in place



That dirty old bull blew snot in my face



So them damned old bulls you can run 'em in a chute



And put your ropes on them big galloots



But the closest you're gonna find me to their stinkin' hair 



Is to help some other fool get flug in the air







Boy the next time I see Bill I'm gonna break his dang neck



Enter me in the bull ridin'



Shoot I think I'll enter him in the Barrel Racing
