Heartbreak Rodeo Lyrics

I was just a small-town dreamer chasing the sun

Had a wild heart thought I'd never need anyone

Then you came along with your sweet southern smile

Made me feel like living was finally worthwhile

But love's a tricky gambler plays the cards real sly

And I didn't see the warning in your goodbye

You left me riding this heartbreak rodeo

Spinning in circles nowhere to go

Thought I'd rope the stars hold you close and tight

But you cut the reins left me lonesome tonight

Now I'm just a cowboy chasing what I'll never know

Caught up in this heartbreak rodeo

I heard you found someone new a richer rodeo

Left this dusty cowboy in the shadows of your glow

But money can't buy a love that's true

It's the kind of pain that whiskey won't undo

I'd trade the saddle the boots and this old guitar

Just to have a shot at fixing your broken heart

You left me riding this heartbreak rodeo

Spinning in circles nowhere to go

Thought I'd rope the stars hold you close and tight

But you cut the reins left me lonesome tonight

Now I'm just a cowboy chasing what I'll never know

Caught up in this heartbreak rodeo

There's dust in my eyes or maybe it's tears

Every mile feels like I'm outrunning the years

But every sunset whispers your name

And every sunrise reminds me I lost the game

You left me riding this heartbreak rodeo

Spinning in circles nowhere to go

Thought I'd rope the stars hold you close and tight

But you cut the reins left me lonesome tonight

Now I'm just a cowboy chasing what I'll never know

Caught up in this heartbreak rodeo

Yeah love's a tricky gambler it'll take what it can

And leave a boy broken pretending he's a man

I'll keep riding through the pain but darlin' you should know

I'll never escape this heartbreak rodeo
