Chris Ledoux Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics

Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics

I meet her in Wyoming at the Cheyenne rodeo



Just a girl in blue jeans and eighteen at the time



I remember how she cheered the day I rode a horse called Midnight



And I hoped that someday that cowgirl could be mine



She followed me to Denver where we became good friends



We'd sit around the cutes and talk while I was killin' time



I'd laugh and tell her stories but I'd never mention stayin'



For the next town and the rodeo were always on my mind



I'm a rodeo cowboy I follow the circuit



Where top money's paid that's where I'll be found



The only thing I own is a suitcase and a saddle



Rodeo cowboy I'll never settle down







In Salt Lake City Utah I told her that I loved her



But still she knew I wasn't born to be the settlin' kind



For with tomorrow's sun I'd pack up my ol gear bag



And leave all thoughts of her and all the hundred miles behind



The last time I saw her was in Amarillo Texas



I'm still in love with her although she can't be mine



But I hope she'll keep the shinny silver buckle that I gave her



Says All Around Cowboy of 1969



I'm a rodeo cowboy...
