Traveling with the rodeo
It's the only life he'll ever know
Started in New Mexico
It must have been a thousand years ago
He used to be the best they say
Riding young wild horses for his pay
But now he's much too old it seems
He only rides wild horses in his dreams
They told him ride 'em cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You can't make no money if you hit the ground
Ride 'em cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You're the toughest cowboy in town
Midnight was the champion
He was the only bronc that he couldn't ride
Now,I hear old Midnight's blind
Ridin' little children for a dime
Ladies used to hang around
He must have been a hero in their eyes
Silver spurs are rusted now
Lord,he wished he tried to settle down
They told him ride 'em cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You can't make no money if you hit the ground
Ride 'em cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You're the toughest cowboy in town
He used to be a traveling cowboy
But now there's no place left to go
What is he supposed to do,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh
He's left out in the cold
They told him ride 'em cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You can't make no money if you hit the ground
Ride 'em cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You're the toughest cowboy in town
Traveling with the rodeo,it's the only life he'll ever know
