Juice Newton Ride 'Em Cowboy song lyrics

Traveling with the rodeo it's the only life he'll ever know

Started in New Mexico it must have been a thousand years ago

He used to be the best they say at riding young wild horses for his pay

But now he's much too old it seems he only rides wild horses in his dreams

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

Midnight was the champion was the only bronc that he couldn't ride

Now I hear Old Midnights blind ridin' little children for a dime

Ladies used to hang around he must have been a hero in their eyes

Silver spurs are rusted now Lord he wished he tried to settle down

They told him ride 'em cowboy...

He used to be a traveling cowboy but now there's no place left to go

What is he supposed to do he's left out in the cold

They told him ride 'em cowboy...

Traveling with the rodeo it's the only life he'll ever know
