Rodeo Hand
Rodeo Spirit: Tales of a Fearless Cowboy's Journey
Lyrics
He's a rodeo hand a dying breed
Describing him as a rare type in decline within the rodeo world.
Drifting like a tumble weed
Drifting freely like a tumbleweed, following his instincts.
Rolling where the urge tells him to go
Traveling without a set path, guided by inner impulses.
And all this cowboy really needs is a
All he really requires for his lifestyle.
Tank of gas and entry fees
His necessities for getting to the next significant rodeo event.
To get him to the next big rodeo
The means to reach the next major competition.
Now most athletes take alfalfa
Contrasting the cowboy's regimen with other athletes' nutritional supplements.
Pills and super B's
References to vitamins and pills taken by other athletes.
A cowboy don't need all that motern stuff
The cowboy's preference for simplicity in what he consumes.
A cowboy's got to be lean and mean
Being physically fit and tough are essential traits for a cowboy.
He trains on caffine and nicotine
Dependence on caffeine and nicotine for energy.
And them all night drives help
Long drives contribute to his resilience and toughness.
To make him tough
These drives aid in toughening him.
He's underfed and under paid and too
Highlighting the hardships faced by cowboys.
Damn hungry to be afraid
Too driven by hunger to feel fear.
Some where between the crazy and insane
They exist in a space between recklessness and insanity.
Cowboys ain't afraid pf dying shoot he'd
Cowboys aren't afraid of death; they are daring.
Even ride a red eyed Lion
Illustrating their fearlessness by referencing riding a dangerous lion.
If you'd show him where to take the rein
Willingness to take risks if directed properly.
Now the only coach a cowboy needs is a
The instinctual drive to eat guides his actions.
Growling gut that says come on let's eat
An urging hunger motivates him.
So tonight cowboy you better
An encouragement to perform well in the upcoming event.
Make a winning ride
The primary motivation for his actions.
Bout the only thing that makes him go
His pursuit of the grand prize and recognition.
Is that big gold buckle waiting down the road
The desired reward and the pride associated with it.
And a bad case of too much cowboy pride
An overwhelming sense of pride driving his actions.
