Chris LeDoux Rodeo Trails off 'Rodeo Songs "Old & New"'


G                         C            G
You made a few bucks in a show down in Texas
G                                    D            
You rode the train north through the sand and the sage
G                           C        G
It took all you had to make entry in Denver
G                         D        G
A cheap hotel room like a cat in a cage

But you hit a good lick when you won the bull doggin'
Marked eighty points on that old Brahma bull
The entry fees high up in Utah they tell me
But your going there with a back pocket full

Ab                               C#            Ab
Get out while you can hoss there ain't nothin' to it
Ab                            Eb
Some ornery old broncs gonna lame you for life
Ab                          C#         Ab
It got in your blood so you just gotta do it
Ab                     Eb          Ab
The rodeo trails gonna widder your wife

You drew an old nag that looked easy in Utah
But he had a temper as bad as his looks
His high divin' twist was the worst ever you saw
The fall that you took was one for the book

G                           C            G
Now ten days have past your feeling much better
G                                 D
Your bad leg still hurts but your thinkin' bout home
G                         C          G
You use your last buck to mail her a letter
G                          D           G
Says honey my last ones in old San Anton

Get out while you can hoss there ain't nothin' to it
Some ornery old broncs gonna lame you for life
It got in your blood so you just gotta do it
The rodeo trails gonna widder your wife

Get out while you can hoss there ain't nothin' to it
The rodeo trails gonna widder your wife
