Lyrics
She pulled the rug out from under my feet
With a bull whip crack she came away clean
And I won't lie, my spurs would rust
Another good cowboy's bit the dust
There's so many miles up and down these roads
Too many rides and a cowboy knows
Broken hearts don't mend like bones
They say the rodeo's hell
Well so was home
I had a handful of leather and not enough pull
Too much whiskey and too much bull
But a little bit of hurt goes a long, long ways
Adios was all I could say
There's so many miles up and down these roads
Too many rides and a cowboy knows
Broken hearts don't mend like bones
They say the rodeo's hell
Well so was home
So I'll ride 'em high and rake in the money
If I win that buckle I'll think about you honey
But I can't go back, it'd make no sense
I got too much pride to fix that fence
