Legacy of a Rodeo Man

 

Jack Daniels Fudge 2

Legacy of a Rodeo Man

There’s a hundred years of history
and a hundred before that
All gathered in the thinkin’
Goin’ on beneath this hat.

And back behind his eyeballs
And pumpin’ through his veins
Is the ghost of every cowboy
That ever held the reins.

 The cold flame burns within him
‘Til his skin’s as cold as ice
And the dues he paid to get here
Are worth every sacrifice.

All the miles spent sleepy drivin’
All the money down the drain,
All the “if I’s” and the “nearly’s”
All the bandages and pain.

All the female tears left dryin’,
All the fever and the fight
Are just a small down payment
On the ride he makes tonight.

It’s guts and love and glory,
One mortal’s chance at fame.
His legacy is rodeo
And cowboy is his name.
