He's packed up his boots and his riggin Seventeen and out on his own He'll ride em all from Portland to Texas And dreamin of one ride in Vegas One ride in Vegas Lonely nights, run down motel rooms Achin bones from yesterday's ride It's takin more then he thought he could give it But he's holdin on for one ride in Vegas One ride in Vegas He's riskin it all, drivin by a hunger That never will let him give up And with a fire in his eyes he dances with thunder Til one day his day finally comes His hearts beats fast with anticipation Brighter lights then he's ever seen before He's waited his whole life for the next 8 seconds And he'd do it all again for one ride in Vegas Just one ride in Vegas He's an old man now A two-time World Champion A modern day legend, every cowboy knows his name He's all settled down on his big ranch in Texas But he'd trade it all today for one ride in Vegas One more ride in Vegas
