29 Nov 11 - 05:49 PM (#3265727) Subject: Lyr Add: RIDE 'EM COWBOY (Paul Davis) From: Jim Dixon My transcription from the recording on Spotify: RIDE 'EM COWBOY Written by Paul Davis As sung by Paul Davis on "Paul Davis Greatest Hits" 1. Trav'lin' with the rodeo, It's the only life I'll ever know. I started in New Mexico, Must 'a' been a thousand years ago. 2. I used to be the best, they say, At ridin' young wild horses for my pay, But now I'm much too old, it seems. I only ride wild horses in my dreams. They used to tell me: CHORUS: "Ride 'em, cowboy; don't let 'im throw you down. You can't make no money if you hit the ground." They said: "Ride 'em, cowboy; don't let 'im throw you down. You're the toughest cowboy in town." BRIDGE: I've always been a trav'lin' cowboy, But now there's no place left to go. What am I supposed to do? Seems I'm left out in the cold. CHORUS 3. Oh, Midnight was a champion. He's the only bronc I couldn't ride, But now I hear ol' Midnight's blind. He rides the little children for a dime. 4. Ladies used to hang around. I must 'a' been a hero in their eyes. My silver spurs are rusty now. Lord, I wish I'd tried to settle down. They used to tell me: CHORUS Trav'lin' with the rodeo, It's the only life I'll ever know. [I can vouch for the accuracy of this transcription because I made it myself. There's another version posted here which is a little different; those lyrics were copied from another web site where they were attributed to David Allan Coe.] |
