I've Got To Be A Rodeo Man - 1975 Version
Sometimes this old road get's so damn lonesome away from home
And there ain't no way in sight to get on by
Nobody knows the way it feels to suffer through this living hell
Unless you've been on down that road yourself
Lord, you know, I ain't really a bum
I was once a clean cut mother's son
And you know down deep inside, I still am
But this rodeo life's got its hold on me
And there ain't no way to set me free
You know, I've gotta be a rodeo man
Skinny old dog on the rodeo grounds scroungin', sniffin', lookin' around
In a lot of ways, well, I'm just like him
'Cause I'm eating up scraps off the dinner table in a greasy cafe
Until I'm able to ride them broncs good enough to win
Lord, you know, I ain't really a bum
I was once a clean cut mother's son
And you know down deep inside, I still am
But this rodeo life's got its hold on me
And there ain't no way to set me free
You know, I've gotta be a rodeo man
You know, I've gotta be a rodeo man
And there ain't no way in sight to get on by
Nobody knows the way it feels to suffer through this living hell
Unless you've been on down that road yourself
Lord, you know, I ain't really a bum
I was once a clean cut mother's son
And you know down deep inside, I still am
But this rodeo life's got its hold on me
And there ain't no way to set me free
You know, I've gotta be a rodeo man
Skinny old dog on the rodeo grounds scroungin', sniffin', lookin' around
In a lot of ways, well, I'm just like him
'Cause I'm eating up scraps off the dinner table in a greasy cafe
Until I'm able to ride them broncs good enough to win
Lord, you know, I ain't really a bum
I was once a clean cut mother's son
And you know down deep inside, I still am
But this rodeo life's got its hold on me
And there ain't no way to set me free
You know, I've gotta be a rodeo man
You know, I've gotta be a rodeo man
