A Cowboy's Got to Ride lyrics

Well your mama finds it hard to understand

Why her lovin' son wants to be a rodeo man

And your daddy had a whole lotta great big plans for you

You hate to disappoint him but you gotta other things to do

Now, your best girl thinks it's time you settle down

You finally graduated and she's ready for a wedding gown

But there's a great big world just waintin' out there for you

And if she really loves you she can wait another year or two

And nobody really knows how you feel inside

The road gets rough and the goin' gets tough

But you know you've gotta try

And there ain't no way they're ever gonna change your mind

Don't everybody know that a cowboy's got to ride

Now your highschool buddies say man, you've gone insane

Don't you know rodeo is a crazy, foolish game

But you can see in their eyes a little jealousy

They're all workin' 9-5, you're footloose and fancy free

And nobody really knows how you feel inside

The road gets rough and the goin' gets tough

But you know you've gotta try

And there ain't now way thery're ever gonna change your mind

Don't everybody know that a cowboy's got to ride

Don't everybody know that a cowboy's got to ride...
