D                    C                    Em
An achin' back and a broken hand from the ride at the county fair.

D                 C                 Em
His momma and his daddy's words are runnin' through his head.

D              C                      D
The rodeo is a crazy place and you're gonna wind up dead.

D              Em
But he's gotta ride

                          D
So he can prove all those right people wrong.

           Em
He's gotta go

                         D
and live his life like a rodeo song.

C                                   D
Nothing in the world could take his mind off his dream.

C                                    D 
Never try to tell him to quit cuz he won't hear a thing...

           Em
He's gotta ride

D                     C                  Em
fourty dollars in his old billfold and a million on his mind.

D                           C                      Em
The entry fee will take his last few bucks so he's gotta win this time.

D                            C                    Em          
The road he's chosen does'nt leave much time to establish any roots.

D                       C                       D
Cuz every moment of his life comes down to the second when they open that chute.

D                 D                Em
Fourty miles from Houston with his thumb out in the air.
