I've Got To Be A Rodeo Man - 1989 Version

Sometimes this old road gets so damn lonesome away from home
 Ain't no way in sight head on back
 Nobody knows the way it feels to suffer through this living hell
 'Less you been on down that road yourself
 Boy, do you know I ain't really a bum?
 I was once a clean cut mother's son
 And you know down deep inside I still I am
 But this rodeo life's got its hold on me
 And there ain't no way to set me free
 You know I've gotta be a rodeo man
 ♪
 Skinny old dog on the rodeo grounds, scroungin', sniffin', lookin' around
 In a lot of ways I'm just like him
 'Cause I'm eating up scraps off the dinner table in a greasy café
 'Til I'm able to ride those broncs good enough to win
 Boy, do you know I ain't really a bum?
 I was once a clean cut mother's son
 And you know down deep inside I still I am
 This rodeo life's got its hold on me
 And there ain't no way to set me free
 You know I've gotta be a rodeo man
 You know I've gotta be a rodeo man
