Lynn Anderson Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics

Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics

I met him in Wyomin'

At the Cheyenne rodeo

Just a kid in pigtails


Of thirteen at the time

I remember how I cheered the day 

He
rode a horse called midnight

And I vowed that someday 

That cowboy
would be mine



I followed him to Denver 

Where we became good
friends

We'd sit around the shoots 

And talk while he was killin'
time

He'd laugh and tell me stories 

But he never mentioned
stayin'

For the next town and the rodeo 

Were always on his mind



He's a rodeo cowboy, he follows the circuit

Where top money's
paid, that's where he'll be found

The only thing he owns is a horse and
silver saddle

Rodeo cowboy, he'll never settle down



In Salt
Lake City, Utah

He told me that he loved me

But still I knew he
wasn't born 

To be the settlin' kind

For with tomorrow's sun 

He'd pack up that old freighter

And leave all thoughts of me and love


A hundred miles behind



The last time that I saw him 

Was in Amarillo, Texas

I'm still in love with him 

Although he
can't be mine

But I'll always keep that 

Shiny silver buckle that
he gave me

Reads 'All Around Cowboy 

Of Nineteen-sixty-nine'



He's a rodeo cowboy, he follows the circuit

Where top money's
paid, that's where he'll be found

The only thing he owns is a horse and
silver saddle

Rodeo cowboy, he'll never settle down

He's a rodeo
cowboy, he'll never settle down...
