When I was a lad an old cowboy told me well son you're sure ridin' well
|
There's fame and there's fortune
|
And glory waitin' at the end of the rodeo trail
|
So I packed up my stuff in my old pickup truck to follow my rodeo dreams
|
Now I'm finally on the top but I feel like a flop
|
Cause I've spent all the fortune I've seen
|
Now where is the glory in drivin' all night
|
Down a highway that's headed to nowhere
|
What good's the fame when the fortune's all gone
|
And the dreams turned into a nightmare
|
Like Ed Bruce said Mamma's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
|
I'm inclined to agree but if you ask me you know I'd go through it again
|
|
Now what does it take to be a rodeo cowboy I guess I'm a expert at that
|
Takes a whole lot of guts and old lady luck but not too much under this hat
|
Well he thrives on the crowds yellin' real load for him to face dyin' again
|
But the good Lord takes care of children and fools
|
He's no kid so what's that make him
|
Now where is the glory...
