Rodeo King Lyrics

He hung up his boots for the last time

He put on that white suit and black tie

Lived his life in these stables his stories ain't fables

He wonders how life passed him by

The scars on his hands are like trophies

And each broken bone has a story

Now there's no more crowd screaming or wide-eyed kids dreaming

His life as a cowboy is done

There he goes chasing that moonlight horizon

And he knows he's putting all the glory behind him

The Rodeo King rides on

His legend will live throughout history

Through the stories of cowgirls and whiskey

And now that he's older he spends his days sober

Watching that sunset alone

There he goes chasing that moonlight horizon

And he knows he's putting all the glory behind him

The Rodeo King rides on

Now there's nothing but dust on that saddle

On a shelf buried deep in the shadows

That leather's been weathered all worn out and tethered

Like the memories of when he was young

There he goes chasing that moonlight horizon

And he knows he's putting all the glory behind him

There he goes his star shining bright like a diamond

And he knows you can't shake the pride that's inside him

The Rodeo King rides on

The Rodeo King rides on

Whoa

Whoa
