Alex Bevan - Rodeo Rider lyrics



He was born in the city
He taught high school history
But his thoughts they just drift to the past
Stories of yesterday, tales of the western way
Slowly grew wings with his plans
'Til he left that brick prison that some folks call school
With a second-hand pack and a sign
Working the carnivals, tent shows and gamling halls
He blew it all to get high
And he's a high hand with the ladies
And a hell-raiser, too
He lives in the world that he most wanted to

Chorus
Oh, he wanted to be a rodeo rider
Silver-trimmed saddles, they shine for the crowd
He'll end up his days riding fence in Montana
On the high ground his dreamin' gets done
He sings: oh, my my Oh, my my

And year after year he'd go and follow the spurs
and rope a moth 'round a candle flame light
Year after year he'd go follow that rodeo
And soon he'll be too old to ride
Twelve years out of college he got nothing to show
The paper just hangs on the wall

Chorus

Last year in Santa Fe, he picked up his final pay
and left everything 'cept his pride
Dusted old crews and spent old bones too tired to mend
Dumped in the lights of his eyes
He and his lady they gonna move to Montan
Build them a home on a big sky ranch

Chorus
