That old southern wind, it ain't howling today
Got a rain in the forecast at first morning light
I just sold the cows for pretty good pay
Ridin' tall in the saddle, feelin' damn fine tonight
And oh, whoa, whoa
Sometimes life can be a rodeo, I promise you that
And oh, whoa, whoa
I'll take these good cards being dealt 'cause I've been through the bad
I've been ridin' all day, got a girl waitin'
And I'll crack a cold one, or two, maybe three
And I'll watch the sunset with her arm around me
And I'll tell you that's all that this cowboy needs
And I'll tell you that's all that this cowboy needs
Sure-footed horses and a good dog on cattle
I took a break in the shade of the cottonwood trees
I don't need the pavement 'cause I've got the gravel
To lead me on home and put my mind at ease
And oh, whoa, whoa
Sometimes life can be a rodeo, I promise you that
And oh, whoa, whoa
But I know that there's nothing that beats the view from under my hat
No, I don't need a man but I sure got a good one
With tan, calloused hands and a love guaranteed
And I'll watch the sunset with his arm around me
And I'll tell you that's all that this cowgirl needs
And I'll tell you that's all that this cowgirl needs
And oh, whoa, whoa
Sometimes life can be a rodeo, I promise you that
And oh, whoa, whoa
I know that I ain't got a lot, but I love what I have
I've been riding all day, got a good girl waitin'
When I see her green eyes it makes me feel free
And I'll watch the sunset with her arm around me
And I'll tell you that's all that this cowboy needs
And I'll tell you that's all that this cowboy needs
