Chris Ledoux - Re-ride lyrics

Since i saw that rodeo in 1965 I had to try to be the greatest bareback rider alive I went and did some practicing on pa's old ropin' mare And i thought i'd take that bronc i'd drawed And really part it's hair When they opened up the gate he did a double flip Half way through the second one is when i lost my grip I hooked my spurs into the dees and hung with all my might I held my breath he chinned the moon And s**ed back to the right My boots came off and went asailin' right up in the stands My belt it broke and shattered my watch i lost my wedding band I scattered all my cigarettes my shirt ripped down the back. I sure was gettin' dizzy and i thought my neck would crack I rode him several jumps with both hands high up in the air He jumped into an old light pole we parted company there I landed in some muddy slop he stomped right through my side Nothin' ever busted me like that old pony ride I couldn't seem to catch my breath i couldn't seem to hide I hobbled back barefooted just a searchin' for my pride And i just couldn't believe my achin' ears When the announcer said re-ride re-ride re-ride I've had enough for 20 men and he calls up re-ride Re-ride re-ride You'd think he got me good enough they give him one more try
