Ride Em Cowboy - Juice Newton

Traveling with the rodeo

It’s the only life I’ll ever know

I started in New Mexico

Must have been a thousand years ago

I used to be the best they say

At riding young wild horses for my pay

But now I’m much too old it seems

I only rides wild horses in his dreams

They use to tell me, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down

You can’t make no money if you hit the ground

They say, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down

You’re the toughest cowboy in town

I have always been a traveling cowboy

But now there’s no place left to go What in I supposed to do Seems I’m left out in the cold

Ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down

You can’t make no money if you hit the ground

They say, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down

You’re the toughest cowboy in town

Oh midnight was the champion

He is the only bronc I couldn’t ride

But now I hear old Midnights blind

And rides little children for a dime

Ladies used to hang around

I must have been a hero in their eyes

My silver spurs are rusted now

Lord, I wished I tried to settle down

They use to tell me, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down

You can’t make no money if you hit the ground

They say, ride 'em cowboy don’t let 'em throw you down

You’re the toughest cowboy in town

Traveling with the rodeo

It’s the only life I’ll ever know
