Off To the Rodeo!

My old bronc saddle has been retired,

for a dozen years or so,

And while I don't ride bucking stock no more,

I still judge the odd rodeo.

When my pick-up hits the highway,

In the first grey light of dawn,

That old, "off to the Rodeo" feeling returns,

Even though,

I aint gonna get on.

The lure of the open road, is still there,

The freedom and cowboy pride.

Now and then,

I throw my old bronc saddle in,

and just take 'er along for the Ride!
