Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics - Live From Dixie's Bar & Bus Stop - Jerry Jeff Walker

Dave Gilstrap 

Yeah, I work all week just to make a draw, 

Sometimes I don't ride 'em at all. 

But I'm hooked in and I got to ride that train. 

When I get down in that chute, 

I can't keep from thinkin' about all that loot, 

I'm a ro-do-o de-o de-o cowboy 

Bordering on the insane. 

CHORUS 

That's why I drink a cheeseburger, eat a six-pack 

Take a Darvon to kill the pain. 

Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall, 

I live through it to tell you 'bout it all. 

I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy 

Bordering on the insane. 

Now, relax and take a deep breath or two 

It's a one time shot and then you're through 

Hang on, boy, and someday you'll have fame. 

When they open up that gate 

The bull takes off like a runaway freight 

And you're a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy 

Bordering on the insane. 

That's why I eat a cheeseburger, drink a six-pack 

Take a Darvon to kill the pain 

Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall 

I live through it just to talk about it all 

I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy 

Bordering on the insane. 

The cobwebs sure are thick, what's goin' on? 

I feel like all my circuits are blown. 

I can't remember my number or name. 

Gimme a beer or two and I'll feel fine, 

'Least it's worked every other time 

'cause I'm a rodeo de-o de-o de cowboy 

Bordering on the insane. 

Repeat Chorus 2x
