Ridin' the Rodeo
Life's Thrill: Journey of a Rodeo Cowboy
Lyrics
Driving all night too many miles to go
Embarking on a long journey, driving through the night with a considerable distance ahead.
Pedal to the metal and listenin' to the radio
Driving fast with full throttle, accompanied by the sounds of the radio.
I got three days to get from Cheyenne to San Antone
Having a limited time of three days to travel from Cheyenne to San Antone (San Antonio).
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Describing the challenging life of a cowboy participating in rodeos.
Well, my back side's sore and I'm movin' kinda slow
Feeling physical discomfort and sluggishness after the demanding ride.
But when I hit Okie City there's a barrel racer that I know
Anticipating a comforting encounter with a barrel racer in Oklahoma City.
Just a little home cookin' and some lovin' to ease my bones, yeah
Seeking comfort through home-cooked food and affection to soothe tired bones.
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Reiterating the tough yet rewarding life of a cowboy engaged in rodeos.
Ride cowboy ride, hold on for your life
Encouraging fellow cowboys to hold on tightly during the challenging ride.
Eight seconds is a long, long time when you're sitting on dynamite
Highlighting the difficulty of staying on a bucking horse for eight seconds, emphasizing the explosive nature of the experience.
Well, you can't make money buddy if get thrown, oh
Stressing the financial implications of not successfully completing a rodeo ride.
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Reiterating the tough and financially risky life of a cowboy participating in rodeos.
Well I might get lucky down in ol' San Antone
Expressing hope for a positive outcome or fortunate experience in San Antonio.
Find a little Texas gal I could call my own
Desiring to find a romantic partner, possibly a Texas girl, during the stay in San Antonio.
That lone star lovin's the best I've ever known
Praising the affection and love received in Texas as the best known to the cowboy.
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of the cowboy's life, alternating between challenging rodeos and comforting moments.
Ride cowboy ride, hold on for your life
Reiterating the call for resilience during the challenging rodeo ride.
Eight seconds is a long, long time when you're sitting on dynamite
Repeating the eight-second duration and the explosive nature of the ride.
Well you can't make money buddy if get thrown
Highlighting the financial consequences of failing to stay on the bull or horse.
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Summarizing the demanding and financially uncertain life of a cowboy participating in rodeos.
Yeah, that's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Concluding with a reaffirmation of the challenging yet fulfilling life of a cowboy engaged in rodeos.
