Songtexte The Rodeo Man - Chris LeDoux

The rodeo cowboys came to town
They done their thing at the rodeo ground
They rode the horses, the steers and the bulls
Then they came to the tavern to drink their bellies full

She thought that I was a hell of a man
That she became a rodeo fan
It must have been the smell of the cows
That turned her on to them callous hands

The last time I seen that woman of mine
Was in a pick-up truck with a plastic sign
Said, "Buck Bennett: wild horse rider
Area code: 307 373 2280, just call anytime"
Lord, he's always at home

She thought I was a hell of a man
That she became a rodeo fan
It must've been the size of his hat
That turned her on to that cowboy cat

The last time I've seen that woman of mine
Was in a pick-up truck with a trailer behind
Yeah, she was twirlin' a rope out the window
Hollerin', "Bye bye, hun, ride 'em cowboy"

Hang in there, let it rip
Well, you should have seen the belt buckle on that dude
Lord, I didn't stand a chance
The meanest thing I ever rode was a Honda 125
And they don't even bite or kick

Well, old Buck, he just blew dust in my face
As he spun his tires out of the parkin' lot
I lost that woman to one of them rodeo cowboys
I should have known better to have taken her to that rodeo

If I ever get me another woman
I'm gonna keep her away from those cowboys
Keep her pregnant, bare-footed at home
Doggone it, that was the best gal I ever have had
