I got the boy steer rider's blues I got my name in the rodeo news I can't explain it to the girls at school But I think it's pretty damn cool I won a bunch of buckles by the time I turned fourteen And still the pretty ladies don't want nothin' to do with me
Last weekend I showed 'em how They had us on some ornery old cows I kicked her in the belly once And she gave me a couple of good jumps She turned back both ways and they marked me a 73 I hit the ground running and she came hookin' after me
I got the boy steer rider's blues But it's all gonna be ok I got the boy steer rider's blues I'm gonna ride me a bull someday
I got the boy steer rider's blues I bucked off at Mountain View But I placed out in Picture Butte And paid my high school rodeo dues And it's a good thing too cuz I was getting pretty damn near broke I saved all winter just to buy myself a decent rope
I'm borrowin' my old man's spurs My mom lost track of hers They're out in the barn someplace Since she give up on the barrel race There's some Croketts in the cellar and I think I'm gonna try 'em on They fit a little big but I tried 'em with a leather thong
