The ole man stands by the lone chute. He sold his calves today. He spits in the dust between his boots. As the semi pulls away. . Slick blue check in his grimy hands.
Have you ever been down to a country dance. And listened to the music of a hillbilly band. And danced with your darlin' all through the night. And don't go home 'til the morning light?.
I'm a goin' and a blowin' and a heading down the road. Tryin' to make a livin' rodeoin'. I've been a driving all night 'neath the pail moonlight. Waiting for the sun to start showin'.
While I was walkin' one mornin' for pleasure. I spied a young cowboy just ridin' along. His hat was throwed back and his spurs were a jinglin'. And as he approached he was singin' this song.

Just about two hundred years ago they signed that declaration. Tellin' everybody in the whole wide world. They're gonna start a brand new nation. From that day on the 4th of July has been a holiday.
Well, now cowboys love the ladies. They like beans and sour dough. Good horses and hot black coffee and campfires burnin' low. You know we love that cowboy music.
Well Lord, I love this ranchin' with it's ropin' and brandin'. But I don't like that farmin' at all. It's goodbye for the summer, this haying's sure a bummer.
The moon is shinnin' down through the pines. And it spreads its light across the mountain side. And I wonder what you're doin' tonight. Yes I wonder what you're doin' and I wonder if everythings alright.
Well, I wake up in the mornin', I brew my coffee hot and strong. I get out my ole guitar, and try to write a song. An them larks are singin, oh Lord, just outside.
Been workin' like a dawg, slavin' on the fence line. Stretchin' those wires tight. Diggin' and tappin' and sweatin' in the sunshine. But I get off tonight.
Well, I've never been afraid of much. And I never thought I need a crutch. To help me through the trials of this life. . But there's one thing I cant do without.
{If you don't use this nasty stuff don't start. But if youre hopelessly addicted. I guess you gotta find something good to say about a bad habit. Well hey let's try.
Faded old blue wranglers, dusty cowboy hat. Pair of scuffed up boots upon your feet's. Can of pork n' beans that you opened with your knife. It ain't much but it's all you've got to eat.
There's a full moon tonight on the prairie. And a memory just rode into view. Of a boy, a buckskin, and an ol' spangler dawg. In the hills where the blue bonnets grew.
When I was just a very young lad. I walked up and I told my dad. A bareback rider's what I wanna be. I want the whole world to know about me. . In the rodeo arena I'll take my stand.
