All Around Cowboy Of 1964

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Folks used to think that I could ride Any bronc or bull alive Maybe in my younger days I could But now I'm slowing down a bit Friends tell me that I should quit And if I didn't love it so, I would [Verse 2] I recall when folks thought I was great And all the riders used to hate To see my name upon the entry door 'Cause I could ride and I could rope The others seem to have no hope A-looking at a buckle that I wore [Chorus] It's that all around cowboy of 1964 Long days and lucky breaks helped me alone Working hard and riding fast and sleeping in the cold Made me all around cowboy of 1964 [Verse 3] Folks don't seem to realize The thrill I get from every ride That bronc feels like you're dynamite to me Scratched and bruised, my body aches From day to day, abuse its takes Lord only knows the way that sets me free [Verse 4] Now my days have shortened up I'm out of breaks and out of luck And things will never be the same old way As I look back and shed a tear Sometimes I can almost hear The echo of the judges, they would say [Chorus] You're the all around cowboy of 1964 Long days and lucky breaks helped me alone Working hard and riding fast and sleeping in the cold Made me all around cowboy of 1964 [Outro] Yes, I'm the all around cowboy of 1964
