Description
"Ride Cowboy Ride" is the tale of an American Indian that is the best rodeo rider around. He is discriminated against and never wins, technically, even though it's obvious that he wins every time. Haunting.
Lyrics
"Ride Cowboy Ride" (Oakleaf/Pence) Grandpa told a story I won't ever forget Best cowboy he'd ever seen was an indian He could tame the rankest bronc of the string an still never win Wasn't no place in the rodeo for a red man chorus: but he'd ride cowboy ride One hand on the rope and the other pointed to the sky High in the saddle was the only way he new how to survive He's gonna ride cowboy ride Though the scores never showed it it was like he'd never been beat Tip his hat after every ride & the crowd would jump to their feet It was plain as day on the faces of the cowboys on the chute Jealous pride burnin' deep inside & there was nothin' they could do chorus He drew the 5 card stud in the last go round to take Cheyenne Took a hoof to the head & there lay dead my grandpa's best friend He said,"you can kill a man but his soul never dies I know we'll meet again in that rodeo in the sky" chorus
