Lynn Anderson - Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics
I met him in Wyomin'At the Cheyenne rodeoJust a kid in pigtailsOf thirteen at the timeI remember how I cheered the dayHe rode a horse called midnightAnd I vowed that somedayThat cowboy would be mineI followed him to DenverWhere we became good friendsWe'd sit around the shootsAnd talk while he was killin' timeHe'd laugh and tell me storiesBut he never mentioned stayin'For the next town and the rodeoWere always on his mindHe's a rodeo cowboy, he follows the circuitWhere top money's paid, that's where he'll be foundThe only thing he owns is a horse and silver saddleRodeo cowboy, he'll never settle downIn Salt Lake City, UtahHe told me that he loved meBut still I knew he wasn't bornTo be the settlin' kindFor with tomorrow's sunHe'd pack up that old freighterAnd leave all thoughts of me and loveA hundred miles behindThe last time that I saw himWas in Amarillo, TexasI'm still in love with himAlthough he can't be mineBut I'll always keep thatShiny silver buckle that he gave meReads 'All Around CowboyOf Nineteen-sixty-nine'He's a rodeo cowboy, he follows the circuitWhere top money's paid, that's where he'll be foundThe only thing he owns is a horse and silver saddleRodeo cowboy, he'll never settle downHe's a rodeo cowboy, he'll never settle down...
