He's packed up his boots and his saddle Seventeen, headin' out on his own He'll rodeo from Cheyenne to Texas Dreamin' of one ride in Vegas One ride in Vegas
Lonely nights in rundown motel rooms Achin' bone from yesterday's ride It's takin' more than he thought he could give it But he's holdin' on for one ride in Vegas One ride in Vegas
He's riskin' it all, driven by a hunger That never will let him give up And with a fire in his eyes, he dances with thunder Till one day his day finally comes
His heart beats fast with anticipation And brighter lights than the kid has ever seen before He's waited his whole life for the next eight seconds And he'd do it all again for one ride in Vegas This one ride in Vegas
He's an old man now, four times world champion A modern day legend and every cowboy knows his name He's all settled down on his ranch down in Texas But he'd trade it all today for one ride in Vegas One more ride in Vegas
