George Strait - Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics

(Clay Blaker)

I own this horse and saddle and that ole Cadillac
This broken down horse trailer and the clothes that are on my back
I know that it ain't a hell of a lot but it's all that I can show
For seventeen years of makin' my livin' ridin' the rodeo.

My wife left me five years ago in one of them rodeo towns
I can't say that I blame her much she just wanted to settle down
Oh God, how I miss that woman and it hurt so to see her go
But if I was smart I woulda stuck by her but I'm hooked on this rodeo.

Now I'm just a lonesome cowboy, I'm a little bit over the hill
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago but I guess I never will
So I keep on movin' from show to show hopin' to change my luck
My good ole days are all memories but I just can't give it up.

There was a time I used to do alright and bring home my share-a dough
But now I'm losin' out to the younger boys, I guess I must be gettin' slow
If there's one thing you learn from this you gotta make it on your own
'Cause when your on top you got a million friends but when your down buddy your all alone.

Now I'm just a lonesome cowboy, I'm a little bit over the hill
I should quit this thing a long time ago but I guess I never will
So I keep on moving from show to show hopin' to change my luck
My good ole days are all a memories but I just can't give it up.

My good ole days are all a memories but I just can't give it up...
