Rodeo Cowboy

I met him in Wyomin' At the Cheyenne rodeo Just a kid in pigtails Of thirteen at the time I remember how I cheered the day He rode a horse called midnight And I vowed that someday That cowboy would be mine I followed him to Denver Where we became good friends We'd sit around the shoots And talk while he was killin' time He'd laugh and tell me stories But he never mentioned stayin' For the next town and the rodeo Were always on his mind He's a rodeo cowboy, he follows the circuit Where top money's paid, that's where he'll be found The only thing he owns is a horse and silver saddle Rodeo cowboy, he'll never settle down In Salt Lake City, Utah He told me that he loved me But still I knew he wasn't born To be the settlin' kind For with tomorrow's sun He'd pack up that old freighter And leave all thoughts of me and love A hundred miles behind The last time that I saw him Was in Amarillo, Texas I'm still in love with him Although he can't be mine But I'll always keep that Shiny silver buckle that he gave me Reads 'All Around Cowboy Of Nineteen-sixty-nine' He's a rodeo cowboy, he follows the circuit Where top money's paid, that's where he'll be found The only thing he owns is a horse and silver saddle Rodeo cowboy, he'll never settle down He's a rodeo cowboy, he'll never settle down...
