Lyrics I've Got To Be A Rodeo Man - 24-Bit Digitally Remastered 04 - Chris LeDoux

Sometimes this old road
Gets so damn lonesome away from home
And there ain't no way in sight to get on back
And nobody knows the way it feels
To suffer through this living hell
Unless you've been on down that road yourself

Lord, you know, I ain't really a bum
I was once a clean-cut mother's son
And you know down deep inside, I still am
But this rodeo life's got it's hold on me
And there ain't no way it'll set me free
You know I've gotta be a rodeo man

Skinny old dog on the rodeo grounds
Scroungin', sniffin', lookin' around
In a lot of ways, well, I'm just like him
'Cause I'm eating up scraps off the dinner table
In a greasy cafe until I'm able
To ride them broncs good enough to win

Lord, you know, I ain't really a bum
I was once a clean-cut mother's son
And you know down deep inside, I still am
But this rodeo life's got it's hold on me
And there ain't no way it'll set me free
You know I've gotta be a rodeo man

You know I've gotta be a rodeo man
