Cowboy's Got The Ride Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Well you mama finds it hard to understand 

Why her lovin' son wants to be a rodeo man 

And your daddy had a whole lotta great big plans for you 

You hate to disappoint him but you gotta other things to do 

Now, your best girl thinks it's time you settle down 

You finally graduated and she's ready for a wedding gown 

But there's a great big world just waintin' out there for you 

And if she really loves you she can wait another year or two 

And nobody really knows how you feel inside 

The road gets rough and the goin' gets tough but you know you've gotta try 

And there ain't no way they're ever gonna change your mind 

Don't everybody know that a cowboys got to ride 

Now your high school buddies say man you've gone insane 

Don't you know rodeo is a crazy foolish game 

But you can see in their eyes a little jealousy 

They're all workin' nine to five you're footloose and fancy free 

And nobody really knows... 

Don't everybody know that a cowboys got to ride
