D
[Verse 1]
D
The lights in the arena and the crowd in the stands
Bm
Fifteen hundred pounds of bull gripped tight in your hands
D
Announcer says your name and the crowd goes wild
Bm A
I've had rodeo dreams since I was a child
[Chorus]
D
I ride in a rodeo a few times a year
G D A
Get stomped and bucked and then
A
I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody
Bm A D
Then I swear it off again
[Instrumental]
D G D A Bm A D
[Verse 2]
D
I've been trampled and broken and left in the dirt
Bm
Cheered by fans through ten years of hurt
D
Now I've hung up my number, there's a ranch I run
Bm A
Where a man can make a living working out in the sun
[Chorus]
D
Still I ride in a rodeo a few times a year
G D A
Get stomped and bucked and then
A
I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody
Bm A D
Then I swear it off again
[Instrumental]
D G D A Bm A D
C G Am x2
[Verse 3]
D
My rodeo buddy he's doing real good
Bm
He's holding on longer than they thought that he could
D
He's got a chance in Vegas at the glory and the wealth
Bm A
Some nights I wonder could I do it myself
[Chorus]
D
So I ride in a rodeo a few times a year
G D A
Get stomped and bucked and then
A
I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody
Bm A D
Then I swear it off again
[Chorus]
D
Yeah, I ride in a rodeo a few times a year
G D A
Get stomped and bucked and then
A
I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody
Bm A D
Then I swear it off again
