Lyrics George Strait – Lonsome Rodeo Cowboy

I own this horse and saddle
And that old Cadillac
This broken down horse trailer
And the clothes that are on my back

My wife left me five years ago
In one of those rodeo towns
I can’t say that I blame her much
She just wanted to settle down
Oh God how I miss that woman
It hurt so to see her go
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her
But I’m hooked on this rodeo

Chorus:
And I’m just a Lonesome Cowboy
I’m a little bit over the hill
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
But I guess I never will
So I keep on movin from show to show
Hopin to change my luck
My good ol days are just a memory
But I just can’t give it up

There was a time I used to do alright
And bring home my share of the dough
But now I’m losin out to the younger boys
I guess I must be gettin slow
But there’s one thing you learn from this
You gotta make it on your own
Cause when your on top you’ve got a million friends

Chorus

My good ol days are just a memory
But I just can’t give it up
