Life Of A Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics

(Hank Cochran - Jeannie Seely)

Well, it really has been nice bein' with you
But I'm afraid that I've got to leave
As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy
And there's a rodeo down in Mesquite.

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
Breakin' broncs or gettin' broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
And that's the only life I know.

On the day you think your day is the big one
I'm walkin' away with all that they own
Then your lyin' hurtin' hearin' someone saying
Give him a hand that's all that cowboy is taking home.

Hot beer and cold stale hamburgers
Makes a meal sorta hard to enjoy
And it kinda makes you think of momma's chicken
Ah that's the life of a rodeo cowboy.

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
Breakin' broncs or gettin' broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
And that's the only life I know.

--- Instrumental ---

When your down and your really feeling sorry
Well you go for a drink in some bar
Then someone points at you and you hear him whisper
Over there stands a rodeo star.

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
Breakin' broncs or gettin' broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
And that's the only life I know.

That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
Breakin' broncs or gettin' broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy
And that's the only life I know...
