Ride Cowboy Ride

"Ride Cowboy Ride"
(Oakleaf/Pence)

Grandpa told a story I won't ever forget
Best cowboy he'd ever seen was an indian
He could tame the rankest bronc of the string an still never win
Wasn't no place in the rodeo for a red man

chorus:
but he'd ride cowboy ride
One hand on the rope and the other pointed to the sky
High in the saddle was the only way he new how to survive
He's gonna ride cowboy ride

Though the scores never showed it it was like he'd never been beat
Tip his hat after every ride & the crowd would jump to their feet
It was plain as day on the faces of the cowboys on the chute
Jealous pride burnin' deep inside & there was nothin' they could do

chorus

He drew the 5 card stud in the last go round to take Cheyenne
Took a hoof to the head & there lay dead my grandpa's best friend
He said,"you can kill a man but his soul never dies
I know we'll meet again in that rodeo in the sky"

chorus
