Description
I wrote this song about the story behind the story of these Rodeo Kids. "It's a long, long, long road...to the rodeo." Like anything, it takes determination, perseverance and endurance. I unveiled this song at the College National Finals Rodeo this past June and it has since become the unofficial anthem for professional rodeo.
Lyrics
She woke up on put her faded jeans on Stared out the window at those rusty barrels Glistening In her field of dreams She packed up her trailer with the saddle mama gave her Put in a quarter his name was savior This is her time, we’re gonna watch her shine She started racing barrels when she was ten was the same day they said her ma would never walk again She is doing this for her she is doing this for them She says one day her mom will walk again It’s a long long road I’s a long long long road to the rodeo He dusted off the picture of his daddy winning That belt buckle he was a champion years in a row he gave quite a show Since his daddy passed he promised that He’d come home a winner while eatin supper with his family He’s headin up the house you see He started roping cattle when he was ten his daddy swinging rope, wanted to be just like him he’s doing this for him he’s doing this for them he’s gotta a family to feed and he’s not even 20 yet it’s a long long long road it’s a long long long road to the rodeo Oh, the Anthem’s sung fans hold their breath stop watch blows here comes the show barrels tip, ropes they fly clowns smile heart's will cry long, long long road long , long, long road long, long long road We’ve got the barrel racing ladies Clowns in the corners Bull riding men tonight We’ve got the calf roping cowboy Down from Wyoming He’s come here to change his life Dreams are gonna happen tonight Heartbreak is gonna happen tonight This is the rodeo life The rodeo life
