Juice Newton Ride 'em Cowboy

Travelin' with the rodeo
It's the only life he'll ever know
It started in new mexico
Must've been a thousand years ago
Used to be the best they say
Ridin' young wild horses for his pay
But now he's much too old it seems
He only ride wild horses in his dreams
(chorus)
They told him, ride em' cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You can't make no money, if you hit the ground
anyhow, ride 'em cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You're the toughest cowboy in town
(bridge)
Midnight was a champion
was the only bronc he couldn't ride
Now I hear old midnight's blind
Riding little children for a dime
Ladies used to hang around
He must've been a hero in their eyes
Silver spurs are rusty now
Lord he wished he'd tried to settle down
(chorus)
(bridge)
(last verse)
(chorus)
Travelin' with the rodeo
That's the only life he'll ever know
