I own this horse and saddle

And that ole Cadillac

This broken down horse trailer

And the clothes that are on my back

I know that it ain't, a hell of a lot.

But it's all that I can show,

For 17 yrs makin my livin' ridin the rodeo.

My wife left me 5 yrs ago

In one of them rodeo towns

I c-ain'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.

But if I was smart I woulda stuck by her

But I'm hooked on this rodeo.

Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy

I'm a little bit over the hill.

I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago

But I guess I never will

So I keep on movin from hopin to change my luck.

My good ole 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 a dough

But now I'm losin out to the younger boys

I guess I must be gettin slow.

If there's one thing you learn from this,

You gotta make it on your own.

Cause when your on top you got a million friends

But when your down Buddy your all alone.

Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy

I'm a little bit over the hill

I should quit this thing a long time ago

But I guess I never will.

So I keep on moving from hopin to change my luck.

My good ole days are all a memory

But I just c-ain't give it up.

My good ole days are all a memory but I just c-ain't give it up.
