George Strait — Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy

[Verse 1] I own this horse and saddle and that old Cadillac This broken-down horse trailer and the clothes that're on my back I know that it ain't a hell of a lot, but it's all that I can show For seventeen years of making my living riding the rodeos [Verse 2] My wife left me five years ago in one of them rodeo towns I can't say that I blame her much, she just wanted to settle down Oh God, how I miss that woman and it hurt so to see her go If I was smart I would've stuck by her, but I'm hooked on this rodeo [Chorus] And I'm just a lonesome cowboy, I'm a little bit over the hill I should've quit this thing a long time ago, but I guess I never will I'll keep on moving from show to show, hoping to change my luck My good old days are all a memory, but I just can't give it up [Verse 3] There was a time I used to do alright and bring home my share of the dough But now I'm losing out to the younger boys, I guess I must be getting slow If there's one thing you learn from this, you gotta make it on your own 'Cause when you're on top, you got a million friends, but when your down, buddy, you're all alone [Chorus] And I'm just a lonesome cowboy, I'm a little bit over the hill I should've quit this thing a long time ago, but I guess I never will I'll keep on moving from show to show, hoping to change my luck My good old days are all a memory, but I just can't give it up [Outro] My good old days are all a memory, but I just can't give it up
