Well you mama finds it hard to understand,
Why her lovin' son wants to be a rodeo man
And your daddy had a whole lotta great big plans for you,
You hate to disappoint him but you gotta other things to do
Now, your best girl thinks it's time you settle down
You finally graduated and she's ready for a wedding gown
But there's a great big world just waintin' out there for you,
And if she really loves you she can wait another year or two
And nobody really knows how you feel inside,
The road gets rough and the goin' gets tough, but you know you've gotta
try
And there ain't no way they're ever gonna change your mind
Don't everybody know that a cowboys got to ride
Now your highschool buddies say man, you've gone insane
Don't you know rodeo is a crazy, foolish game
But you can see in their eyes a little jealousy,
They're all workin' 9-5, you're footloose and fancy free
And nobody really knows how you feel inside,
The road gets rough and the goin' gets tough, but you know you've gotta
try
And there ain't now way thery're ever gonna change your mind
Don't everybody know that a cowboys got to ride
Don't everybody know taht a cowboys got to ride
