Chris LeDoux The Rodeo Hand lyrics

He's a rodeo hand a dyin' breed driftin' like a tumble weed
Rollin' where the urge tells him to go
And all a cowboy really needs is a tank of gas and entry fees
To get him to the next big rodeo

Now most athletes take vitamin C, alfalfa pills and super B's
The cowboy's don't need all that modern stuff
A cowboy's gotta be lean and mean, he trains on caffeine and nicotine
And them all night drives help to keep him tough

Well he's underfed and under paid and too damn hungry to be afraid
Somewhere between crazy and insane
A cowboy's ain't afraid to dye and shit they'd even ride a red eyed lion
If you'd just show him where to take the rein

He's a rodeo hand, a dyin' breed driftin' like a tumble weed
Rollin' where the urge tells him to go
And all a cowboy really needs is just a tank of gas and entry fees

To get him to the next big rodeo

Now the only coach a cowboy needs is a growlin' gut sayin' it's time to eat
So tonight cowboy you better make that winning ride
And 'bout the only thing that makes him go is that big gold buckle
Waitin' down the road and a bad case of too much cowboy pride

He's a rodeo hand, a dyin' breed driftin' like a tumble weed
Rollin' where the urge tells him to go
And all a cowboy really needs is just a tank of gas and entry fees
To get him to the next big rodeo

He's a rodeo hand, a dyin' breed driftin' like a tumble weed
And he's heading to the next big rodeo
