Rusty Spurs Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Rusty spurs a hangin' from a nail their on the wall 

Cold winds a blowin' and the snow begins to fall 

Old man a dreamin' in his rockin' chair 

Thinkin' bout the days gone by wishin' he was there 

Rodeo, you take a boy and make a man so tall 

Drink his youth and cast him by the way 

What's he gonna do now that he's through 

But sit and dream about the good old days 

He used to Rodeo and ride 'em mighty fine 

Now he's old and crippled but he rides on in his mind 

And I can tell, Rodeo, you're doin' the same to me 

I feel like I'm fifty but I'm only twenty-three 

Rodeo, you take a boy and make a man so tall 

Drink his youth and cast him by the way 

What's he gonna do now that he's through 

But sit and dream about the good old days 

Old picture album he keeps there by his side 

Holds cherished mem'ries of broncs he used to ride 

He thinks about his old friends and where they are today 

Are they still living or have they passed away 

Rodeo, you take a boy and make a man so tall 

Drink his youth and cast him by the way 

What's he gonna do now that he's through 

But sit and dream about the good old days
