You're the toughest cowboy in town
He is the only bronc I couldn't ride
You can't make no money if you hit the ground
I must have been a hero in their eyes
They say, ride 'em cowboy don't let 'em throw you down
Oh midnight was the champion
Lord, I wished I tried to settle down
Ride 'em cowboy don't let 'em throw you down
You can't make no money if you hit the ground
You can't make no money if you hit the ground
And rides little children for a dime
I only rides wild horses in his dreams
What in I supposed to do
My silver spurs are rusted now
I started in New Mexico
At riding young wild horses for my pay
Must have been a thousand years ago
They say, ride 'em cowboy don't let 'em throw you down
Seems I'm left out in the cold
But now I hear old Midnights blind
I used to be the best they say
They use to tell me, ride 'em cowboy don't let 'em throw you down
Traveling with the rodeo
You're the toughest cowboy in town
I have always been a traveling cowboy
They use to tell me, ride 'em cowboy don't let 'em throw you down
Ladies used to hang around
They say, ride 'em cowboy don't let 'em throw you down
But now there's no place left to go
You're the toughest cowboy in town
But now I'm much too old it seems
