Rodeo Life

RODEO LIFE
Music and lyrics by Stephanie Quayle

She woke up on put her faded jeans on
Stared out the window at those rusty barrels
Glistening
In her field of dreams
She packed up her trailer with the saddle mama gave her
Put in a quarter his name was savior
This is her time, watch her shine

She started racing barrels when she was ten
was the same day they said her ma would never walk again
She is doing this for her she is doing this for them
She says one day her mom will walk again

It’s a long long road
I’s a long long long road to the rodeo


He dusted off the picture of his daddy winning
That belt buckle he was a champion
years in a row he gave quite a show
Since his daddy passed he promised that
He’d come home a winner while eatin supper with his family
He’s headin up the house you see


He started roping cattle when he was ten
his daddy swinging rope, wanted to be just like him
he’s doing this for him he’s doing this for them
he’s gotta a family to feed and he’s not even 20 yet

it’s a long long long road
it’s a long long long road to the rodeo


Oh, the Anthem’s sung
fans hold their breath
stop watch blows

here comes the show
barrels tip, ropes they fly
clowns smile heart cry

long, long long road
long , long, long road
long, long long road

We’ve got the barrel racing ladies
Clowns in the corners
Bull riding men tonight
We’ve got the calf roping cowboy
Down from Wyoming
He’s come here to change his life
Dreams are gonna happen tonight
Heartbreak is gonna happen tonight
This is the rodeo life
The rodeo life
