So you wanna be a cowboy and you wanna rodeo Well I don't see nothin' to hold you back just pack your stuff and go You'll travel many highways and boy you're gonna see it all You'll have yourself some good times but you're gonna take some falls
Now lay off the hard liquor leave them pills alone They'll only dull the senses and leave you weak and stoned If you wanna be a winner son you've gotta play it straight Give it everything you got when they open up the gate
Well there ain't no easy goin' on the rodeo trail For every man that's made it a hundred men have failed But if you're mighty lucky and you gotta lot of try There's a big gold buckle waitin' at the end of the line
Now if you got a woman son you better know her well 'Cause it takes a special lady to follow you through hell But if she'll stand beside you when you're down to your last dime You've got yourself a treasure that few men ever find
Well there ain't no easy goin' on the rodeo trail For every man that's made it a hundred men have failed But if you're mighty lucky and you gotta lot of try There's a big gold buckle waitin' at the end of the line There's a big gold buckle waitin' at the end of the line.
