"Ride 'Em Cowboy" by Paul Davis

Traveling with the rodeo
It's the only life I've ever known.
It started in New Mexico,
It must have been a hundred years ago.

I used to be the best they say
At riding those wild horses for my pay.
But now I'm just too old it seems,
I only ride wild horses in my dreams.

Chorus:
They used to tell me,
Ride 'em cowboy, don't let 'em throw you down,
You can't make no money if you hit the ground.
They'd say, Ride 'em cowboy,
Don't let 'em slow you down,
You're the toughest cowboy around.

Ladies used to hang around,
I must have been a hreo in their eyes.
My silver spurs are rusted now,
Lord I wish i'd tried to settle down.

Chorus

Tag:
I've always been a traveling cowboy,
But now there's no place left to go.
What am I supposed to do?
Looks like I'm left out in the cold.

Chorus
