Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

I meet her in Wyoming at the Cheyenne rodeo 

Just a girl in blue jeans and eighteen at the time 

I remember how she cheered the day I rode a horse called Midnight 

And I hoped that someday that cowgirl could be mine 

She followed me to Denver where we became good friends 

We'd sit around the cutes and talk while I was killin' time 

I'd laugh and tell her stories but I'd never mention stayin' 

For the next town and the rodeo were always on my mind 

I'm a rodeo cowboy I follow the circuit 

Where top money's paid that's where I'll be found 

The only thing I own is a suitcase and a saddle 

Rodeo cowboy I'll never settle down 

In Salt Lake City Utah I told her that I loved her 

But still she knew I wasn't born to be the settlin' kind 

For with tomorrow's sun I'd pack up my ol gear bag 

And leave all thoughts of her and all the hundred miles behind 

The last time I saw her was in Amarillo Texas 

I'm still in love with her although she can't be mine 

But I hope she'll keep the shinny silver buckle that I gave her 

Says All Around Cowboy of 1969 

I'm a rodeo cowboy...
