Rodeo Life Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

I suppose, there's a better way to make a livin' 

To make money so I could live in luxury 

But the life behind a desk in a building 

Would be like a prison sentence to me 

My manners are not refined or even polished 

And my speech, it may be crude to most you see 

I guess that I was just born a dreamer 

But in my life I relish pride and being free 

My clothes are high heeled boots and a big hat 

And the buckle on my belt, I wear with pride 

You might even find a snuff can in the pocket 

Of these old wore out, faded blue Levi's 

Well, I'm a cowboy on the rodeo circuit 

And when it's time to ride, well, I bear down and try 

But when I play I go to some ol' crowded bar room 

And get drunk and wild along with the other guys 

Well, I know it can't go on like this forever 

And I maybe a fool just runnin' wild through life 

But it's my life and I'll live it to the fullest 

And I can look back and say that it was right 

And some day when my rovin' days are finally all over 

Well, I can picture a little home down beside a stream 

And with a son and his mother sittin' by me 

And with love I'll help him strive to reach his dream
