Lynn Anderson - Rodeo Cowboy lyrics

I meet him in Wyoming at the Cheyenne rodeo
Just a kid in pigtails and
Thirteen at the time
I remember how I cheered the day
He rode a horse called Midnight
And I vowed that someday that
Cowgirl could be mine

Followed him to Denver where
We became good friends
We'd sit around the cutes and talk
While he was killin' time
He'd laugh and tell me stories
But he'd never mention stayin'
For the next town and the rodeo
Were always on his mind

He's a rodeo cowboy he follows the circuit
Where top money's paid that's
Where he'll be found
The only thing he owns is
A horse and silver saddle
Rodeo cowboy he'll never settle down

In Salt Lake City Utah he told
Her that he loved her
But still I knew he wasn't born
To be the settling kind
For with tomorrow's sun he'd pack
Up his ol' suitcase
And leave all thoughts of me and
Love a hundred miles behind

The last time that I saw
Him was in Amarillo Texas
I'm still in love with him
Although he can't be mine
But I'll always keep the shinny silver
Buckle that he gave me
Reads All Around Cowboy of 1969

He's a rodeo cowboy he follows the circuit
