He was runnin' on fumes

Laid up in that hospital room

Never seen him look so old

He don't know how to quit

No, he'd keep givin' her hell right up 'til the very end

'Cause that's the only way he knows

And I could feel the truth in his old calloused hands

When he took his last breath, looked at me and said

This ain't my last rodeo

No, it's just time for this old man

to get this show on the road

When life throws you off your saddle

It don't mean you lost the battle

Just climb back up and turn another row

The good Lord might want to call this cowboy home

But this ain't my last rodeo

He said a man is

Only as good as the woman

that he's got standin' beside him

So I thank the good Lord evеry day

'Cause mine is

Somewhеre up there and waitin' on me to ride in

Boy that'll be the day

And I'm so close I can smell her perfume

And I can't wait to watch her light up the room

So this ain't my last rodeo

No, it's just time for this old man

to get this show on the road

When life throws you off your saddle

It don't mean you lost the battle

Just climb back up and turn another row

The good Lord might want to call this cowboy home

But this ain't my last rodeo

I know my time is comin' soon

So all I'm askin' you to do

Is bury me in my boots

'Cause this ain't my last rodeo

No, it's just time for this old man

to get this show on the road

When life throws you off your saddle

Don't think you lost the battle

So don't shed a tear for me now when I go

The good Lord might want to call this cowboy home

This ain't my last rodeo

This ain't my last rodeo

This ain't my last rodeo
