Swear It Off Again

from Two Thousand Miles by Owen Temple

/

lyrics

The lights in the arena and the crowd in the stands
Fifteen hundred pounds of bull gripped tight in your hands
Announcer says your name and the crowd goes wild
I've had rodeo dreams since I was a child

I ride in a rodeo a few times a year
I get stomped and bucked and then
I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody
Then I swear it off again

I've been trampled and broken and left in the dirt
Cheered by fans through ten years of hurt
Now I hung up my number, there's a ranch that I run
Where a man can make a living working out in the sun

Chorus

My rodeo buddy he's doing real good
He's holding on longer than they thought that he could
He's got a chance in Vegas at the glory and wealth
Some nights I wonder could I do it myself

Chorus
