Lyrics

Rodeo Fool

Packed up my dreams and left my hometown years ago
I was gonna be the next big star of the rodeo
Pretty girls would all turn their heads
Now I find myself instead
In a pick-up camper with an empty bed
With voices singing in my head…

Rodeo fool, the only thing that you ain’t broken is your pride
Rodeo fool, there’s always one more old cow’s calf to ride
Rodeo fool, it’s a hard life but you chose it n’ don’t ya know
It all comes down to worth it
Every time you hear that welcome whistle blow …

I left my heart with my best friend in San Antone'
She just couldn’t take one more day livin’ on the road
I said “Honey, let me give it one more try”
Been years since I told that lie
Dancin’ with mem’ries at night
I hear her cryin’ as she waves goodbye…

Rodeo fool, the only thing that you ain’t broken is your pride
Rodeo fool, there’s always one more old cow’s calf to ride
Rodeo fool, it’s a hard life but you chose it n’ don’t ya know
It all comes down to worth it
Every time you hear that welcome whistle blow …

Cowboy up turns to cowboy down in the twinkling of an eye
Eight seconds seems like a lifetime,
But you always give it one more try
Reaching for that one time, you catch that perfect ride …

Rodeo fool, the only thing that you ain’t broken is your pride
Rodeo fool, there’s always one more old cow’s calf to ride
Rodeo fool, it’s a hard life but you chose it n’ don’t ya know
It all comes down to worth it
Every time you hear that welcome whistle blow

Yeah It all comes down to worth it
Every time you hear that welcome whistle blow
