So You Want To Be A Cowboy Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

So you wanna be a cowboy and you wanna rodeo 

Well I don't see nothin' to hold you back just pack your stuff and go 

You'll travel many highways and boy you're gonna see it all 

You'll have yourself some good times but you're gonna take some falls 

Now lay off the hard liquor leave them pills alone 

They'll only dull the senses and leave you weak and stoned 

If you wanna be a winner son you've gotta play it straight 

Give it everything you got when they open up the gate 

Well there ain't no easy goin' on the rodeo trail 

For every man that's made it a hundred men have failed 

But if you're mighty lucky and you gotta lot of try 

There's a big gold buckle waitin' at the end of the line 

Now if you got a woman son you better know her well 

'Cause it takes a special lady to follow you through hell 

But if she'll stand beside you when you're down to your last dime 

You've got yourself a treasure that few men ever find
