Muddy boots and slammin' chutes Lyin' in the dust of old Cheyenne Just another day Gettin' on and gettin' gone He's gonna make the next go-round any way he can He's sure it's gonna pay
And though he plays an old guitar And he writes a song or two He don't think he's Johnny Cash and he don't want you to He's just a workin' man Doin' the best he can
CHORUS: And we gotta hold it on the road 'Cause these old hills are gettin' higher We gotta hold it on the road 'Cause these old eyes are gettin' tired So saddle up it's time to go Man we just keep gettin' older Just another rodeo Just another cowboy show We gotta hold it on the road
I write country songs about the rights and wrongs And the broken hearts healin' up on the old dance floor In three-quarter time Swingin' doors and sawdust floors And every night's the same as the one before I never save a dime
And though I love the rodeo And my cowboy hat and boots I don't think I'm Casey Tibbs and I don't want you to I'm just a workin' man Doin' the best I can
CHORUS
Just another rodeo Just another cowboy show We gotta hold it on the road
