Only Road You Know Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

The rodeo is over and the crowd has all gone home 

And you have time to walk around these lonely grounds alone 

You see the empty buckin chutes where broncs and bulls have stood 

You think about the way they fired the bad ones and the good 

You ask yourself what calls me on why did I ever go 

And leave my loved ones far behind to follow rodeo 

Though you haven't got a dime you know just where to go 

You'll pack your hat and riggin' sack to another rodeo 

Some folks say that you're a bum but you know that isn't so 

You are just a happy guy on the only road you know 

You bucked down at Mount Isa when you got hot from the swell 

And you missed one out at Alice Springs but they said you spurred him well 

Feeling bruised and battered and your sprits mighty low 

You hear the highway call you on to another rodeo 

Though you haven't got a dime...
