Where Is The Glory Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

When I was a lad an old cowboy told me well son you're sure ridin' well 

There's fame and there's fortune 

And glory waitin' at the end of the rodeo trail 

So I packed up my stuff in my old pickup truck to follow my rodeo dreams 

Now I'm finally on the top but I feel like a flop 

Cause I've spent all the fortune I've seen 

Now where is the glory in drivin' all night 

Down a highway that's headed to nowhere 

What good's the fame when the fortune's all gone 

And the dreams turned into a nightmare 

Like Ed Bruce said Mamma's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 

I'm inclined to agree but if you ask me you know I'd go through it again 

Now what does it take to be a rodeo cowboy I guess I'm a expert at that 

Takes a whole lot of guts and old lady luck but not too much under this hat 

Well he thrives on the crowds yellin' real load for him to face dyin' again 

But the good Lord takes care of children and fools 

He's no kid so what's that make him 

Now where is the glory...
