^C Them bareback horses are the only thing
They ^F make your back hurt they make your bell ring
They're ^G7 hard on tailbones and they make your neck sore
But when it's all over you're craving some ^C more
Well you drive down the road in a broke down car
You ^F stop in some town you wonder where in the hell you are
You ^G7 get yourself a road map and head out once again
With only enough for fees so you'd damn sure better ^C win
You ^F finally make the pitchin' with your ^C entry fees all paid
You get ^G7 on another snatcher and he ^C flings you away
So you ^C head to town broken hearted ^F lookin' for a chance
To ^G7 get a little drunk and find some girl and ^C dance
Well you meet a little girl at the ^F bar all alone
You ^G7 whoop some words on her to get her to take you ^C home
But she's got a big boyfriend who ^F just came from the can
And he says ^G7 move on there buddy cause he's her lovin' ^C man
So you c ^F limb back in your car after your ^C little bitty fight
You're ^G7 drunk and broken hearted
And it's ^C twelve o'clock at night
And you ain't got a dime in your ^F old blue jeans
But ^G7 by god you got a half a tank of gas
And a can of pork and ^C beans
^F You write a hot check to pay your fees once again
You ^G7 got yourself a good one so you ought to ^C win
The horse is standin' in the chute ^F then he bucks around
The ^G7 whistle blows then you're standin' on the ^C ground
The ^F judges total their markings and they ^C tally up the score
And you're ^G7 beatin' everybody by at ^C least ten points or more
So you climb back in your car with a ^F pocket full of cash
A good ^G7 feelin' in your heart and a tank full of ^C gas
But boys the day finally comes when you get ^F old and grey
You ^G7 gotta hang your spurs up and put your ^C riggin' away
You look back now with a ^F wantin' eye
But ^G7 brother it's all gone so you sit and ^C cry
