Lord, I know I told you many years ago That all I ever wanted was to ride in the rodeo If you'd give me the courage to make that long, hard ride I'd wanna be a cowboy till I died Well, I've bumped heads with every wild bull from Dallas to Cheyenne And every time I hit the dirt, well, I got back on again But now I'm down here prayin' I haven't let you down I think it's time we turned my life around CHORUS: Lord, I've traveled many lonely miles Take my saddle, let me rest awhile My heart is weary and my bones are sore And I don't wanna be a cowboy anymore There's a girl in Austin, the one I left behind When ridin' for the money was the main thing on my mind; I'm hopin' she'll forgive me for makin' that mistake 'cause all I want now is the love she makes REPEAT CHORUS Hang my trophies in the Hall of Fame Tell all the ladies to remember my name I don't wanna be a cowboy anymore
