Intro: Verse I own this horse and saddle And that old Cadillac This broken down horse trailer And the clothes that are on my back I know that it ain't a hell of a lot But it's all that I can show For 17 years making my living ridin' the rodeo My wife left me five years ago In one of those rodeo towns I can't say that I blame her much She just wanted to settle down Oh God how I miss that woman It hurt so to see her go If I was smart I woulda stuck by her But I'm hooked on this rodeo Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy I'm a little bit over the hill I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago But I guess I never will So I keep on movin from show to show Hopin to change my luck My good ol days are just a memory But I just can't give it up Instrumental: Verse There was a time I used to do alright And bring home my share of the dough But now I'm losin out to the younger boys I guess I must be gettin slow If there's one thing you learn from this You gotta make it on your own Cause when your on top you've got a million friends But when your down buddy you're all alone Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy I'm a little bit over the hill I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago But I guess I never will So I keep on movin from show to show Hopin to change my luck My good old days are just a memory But I just can't give it up My good ole days are all a memory but I just cain't give it up.
