When those lights go down And I'm a rolling stone When the show leaves town, and we put it on the road I got a wandering mind And a hand on the wheel When people listen to the songs, do you know how I feel? 'Cause this ain't some rhinestone bit And this ain't some circus show Yeah, son, this is pure cowboy shit Ain't your daddy's rodeo No, it ain't his rodeo And I'm rambling around Towns I ain't never seen Ain't much of a life, but it's a hell of a dream And it's a fading fast And when it burns it's bright Well I ain't an up and comer, but I'm bringing the fight 'Cause this ain't some rhinestone bit And this ain't some circus show Son, this is pure cowboy shit Ain't your daddy's rodeo No, it ain't his rodeo And it hurts a little now Know how it felt back then And all we've been living for was a show around the bend And it all might be Just a case of, 'could've been' But it's never too late to crack and rig it now again 'Cause this ain't some rhinestone bit And this ain't some circus show Son, this is pure cowboy shit Ain't your daddy's rodeo No, it ain't his rodeo
