Lyrics
So you wanna be a cowboy and you wanna rodeo
Expressing the desire to become a cowboy and participate in rodeo events.
Well I don't see nothin' to hold you back just pack your stuff and go
Encouraging action, suggesting there's nothing holding you back; pack your things and go.
You'll travel many highways and boy you're gonna see it all
Anticipating the diverse experiences and challenges one will face while traveling the rodeo circuit.
You'll have yourself some good times but you're gonna take some falls
Acknowledging both enjoyable moments and inevitable setbacks in the cowboy lifestyle.
Now lay off the hard liquor leave them pills alone
Advising against excessive alcohol and drug use, warning of their negative effects.
They'll only dull the senses and leave you weak and stoned
Highlighting the detrimental impact of hard liquor and pills on one's senses and well-being.
If you wanna be a winner son you better play it straight
Encouraging honesty and fair play, emphasizing the importance of integrity for success.
Give it everything you got when they open up the gate
Stressing the need to give one's best effort when the opportunity arises.
Well there ain't no easy goin on the rodeo trail
Pointing out the challenging nature of the rodeo trail and the lack of easy success.
For every man that's made it a hundred men have failed
Highlighting the difficulty of making it in rodeo, with many more failures than successes.
But if you're mighty lucky and you gotta lot of try
Acknowledging luck and persistent effort as factors that may lead to success in rodeo.
There's a big gold buckle waitin at the end of the line
Portraying a prestigious reward, a big gold buckle, awaiting those who persevere.
Now if you got a woman son you better know her well
Emphasizing the importance of knowing and having a supportive partner for a cowboy.
Cause it takes a special lady to follow you through hell
Describing the challenges a cowboy's partner may face and the strength required to endure tough times together.
But if she'll stand beside you when you're down to your last dime
Recognizing the value of a partner who stands by you during financial difficulties.
You've got yourself a treasure that few men ever find
Considering a loyal and supportive partner as a rare and valuable treasure.
Well there ain't no easy...
Reiterating the challenging nature of the rodeo lifestyle.
