One Ride in Vegas
Dreams in Dust: A Cowboy's Quest for Glory
Lyrics
He's packed up his boots and his saddle
He has packed up his essential cowboy gear, symbolizing readiness for a journey.
Seventeen, headin' out on his own
At the age of seventeen, he is venturing out independently.
He'll rodeo from Cheyenne to Texas
He plans to participate in rodeos from Cheyenne to Texas.
Dreamin' of one ride in Vegas
He dreams of experiencing a significant event, perhaps a successful ride, in Las Vegas.
One ride in Vegas
Reiteration of the dream for one memorable ride in Las Vegas.
Lonely nights in rundown motel rooms
He spends lonely nights in worn-out motel rooms.
Achin' bone from yesterday's ride
He experiences physical pain from the previous day's ride.
It's takin' more than he thought he could give it
The challenges he faces exceed his initial expectations.
But he's holdin' on for one ride in Vegas
Despite the difficulties, he persists, hoping for that one ride in Vegas.
One ride in Vegas
Reiteration of the enduring desire for a significant ride in Las Vegas.
He's riskin' it all, driven by a hunger
He is risking everything, driven by an insatiable hunger for success.
That never will let him give up
His determination prevents him from giving up on his dreams.
And with a fire in his eyes, he dances with thunder
There's intensity in his gaze as he faces challenges, symbolized by dancing with thunder.
Till one day his day finally comes
Eventually, his moment of triumph arrives.
His heart beats fast with anticipation
His heart races with excitement and anticipation.
And brighter lights than the kid has ever seen before
The lights in Las Vegas are brighter than anything he's seen before.
He's waited his whole life for the next eight seconds
His entire life has led to the next eight seconds, a critical duration in rodeo.
And he'd do it all again for one ride in Vegas
He's willing to endure it all again for the chance of one ride in Vegas.
This one ride in Vegas
Reiteration of the enduring significance of that one ride in Las Vegas.
He's an old man now, four times world champion
Now an old man, he has achieved four world championships, becoming a legendary figure.
A modern day legend and every cowboy knows his name
His reputation is well-known among cowboys.
He's all settled down on his ranch down in Texas
He has settled down on a ranch in Texas, but the longing for that Vegas ride remains.
But he'd trade it all today for one ride in Vegas
Despite success, he would trade it all for one more ride in Las Vegas.
One more ride in Vegas
Reiteration of the enduring desire for another significant ride in Las Vegas.
