Rodeo Cowboy (Re-Recorded) - Lynn Anderson

I meet her in Wyoming at the Cheyenne rodeo

Just a girl in blue jeans and eighteen at the time

I remember how she cheered the day I rode a horse called Midnight

And I hoped that someday that cowgirl could be mine

She followed me to Denver where we became good friends

We’d sit around the cutes and talk while I was killin' time

I’d laugh and tell her stories but I’d never mention stayin'

For the next town and the rodeo were always on my mind

I’m a rodeo cowboy I follow the circuit

Where top money’s paid that’s where I’ll be found

The only thing I own is a suitcase and a saddle

Rodeo cowboy I’ll never settle down

In Salt Lake City Utah I told her that I loved her

But still she knew I wasn’t born to be the settlin' kind

For with tomorrow’s sun I’d pack up my ol gear bag

And leave all thoughts of her and all the hundred miles behind

The last time I saw her was in Amarillo Texas

I’m still in love with her although she can’t be mine

But I hope she’ll keep the shinny silver buckle that I gave her

Says All Around Cowboy of 1969

I’m a rodeo cowboy…
