The Northern Kansas wind?s rushing by my farm,
I run into the barn, turning on the light;
I want to be sure my riding horse?s all right, just one more night,
Just one more night, before we will be on our way
To a Texas city?s lights - Houston Rodeo time.
My horse and I will go to ride eight hundred miles
From Kansas?s countryside across the Texas? land.
Along the way I will see pretty girls come out to greet and wave to me,
They wave to me, Oklahoma girls are so lovely,
Their smiling faces take all my breath away.
My hometown, eight hundred miles from rodeo site,
But my heart?s in Houston, when it?s rodeo time,
So we go for our ride, traveling day and night
With a lover by my side, fellow friends right behind.
The second night, we?re very close, about to arrive,
But stop to build a fire, Texas Bar-B-Q time.
We talk about our ride, talk about our good times
We don?t get much sleep before dawn?s sunrise.
I am a country boy, simple things can be my joy
Like watching girls and boys on horseback at the show
Maneuvering their horses around the tall barrels, going to night shows
Going to night shows, see Nashville boys and Tennessee girls
Singing their country songs about life and love.
You don?t have to be a cowboy to find rodeo a joy
Or even a country boy traveling miles like me,
?Cause I see many people come from the big cities look so happy
But if you?re like me, traveling from hundred miles away
Then along your journey you?ll find good memories.
YOU DON?T HAVE TO BE A COWBOY.
