Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics

I own this horse and saddle And that old Cadillac This broken down horse trailer And the clothes that are on my back
Well, I know that it ain't a hell of a lot But it's all that I can show From seventeen years I'm makin' my livin' and ridin' in a rodeo
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 It hurt so to see her go If I was smart, I would've stuck by her But I'm hooked on this rodeo
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
So I keep on movin' from show to show Hopin' to change my luck [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/lonesome-rodeo-cowboy-lyrics-george-strait.html ] My good old days are all a memory But I just can't give it up
There was a time I used to do alright And bring home my share of the dough But now I'm losin' out to the younger boys I guess, I must be gettin' slow
But there's one thing you learn from this You gotta make it on your own 'Cause when you're on top you've got a million friends But when your down buddy you're all alone
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
So I keep on movin' from show to show Hopin' to change my luck My good old days are all a memory But I just can't give it up
My good old days are all a memory But I just can't give it up
