D
Sometimes this old road
C
Get's so damn lonesome away from home
G                             D
Ain't no way in sight head on back
D
Nobody knows the way it feels
C
Suffer through this living hell
G                               D
Less you been on down that road yourself

[Chorus]
D                                C
Boy don't ya know I ain't really a bum
G                                    D
I was once a clean cut mothers son
   C                                  G
And you know down deep inside I still am,
C                            G         D
But this rodeo life's got it's hold on me
C                        G                     D
And there aint no way to set me free
C                                G             D
You know I've gotta be a rodeo man

[Verse]
D
Skinny old dog on the rodeo grounds
C
Scroungin', sniffin', lookin around
G                                   D
In alot of ways I'm just like him
D
Cause I'm eating up scr*ps off the dinner table
C
In a greasy cafe' til I'm able
G                                         D
Ride those broncs good enough to win

[Chorus]
D                                C
Boy don't ya know I ain't really a bum
G                                    D
I was once a clean cut mothers son
   C                                      G        D E
And you know down deep inside I still am,
C                            G                    D
But this rodeo life's got it's hold on me
C                        G                     D
And there aint no way to set me free
C                                G             D
You know I've gotta be a rodeo man
C                                G             D
You know I've gotta be a rodeo man
