Meet a rodeo cowboy in Billings killing time trading stories and beer And asked him how he made a living riding broncs and bull doggin' steers Well he smiled as he tipped his hat slowly he said friend it ain't all like it seems While some folks are makin' a livin' others are livin' their dreams And some cowboys ride for the buckle some for the rodeo name Some like the sound or the thrill of the crowd and others got no place to stay Some do it for love and others for money some ride for glory or fame But through all of my seasons of all of the reasons I've stayed on this circuit for me I said I've been on this suicide circuit for the best part of fifteen long years Don't let this ol porker face fool you because beneath it a measure of fear I've been beat, I've been down I've been busted till my body was cryin' with pain Take a couple of days and shake it all off and you do it all over again And some cowboys ride... I've stayed on this circuit for me
