Swear It off Again

The lights in the arena and the crowd in the stands

Fifteen hundred pounds of bull gripped tight in your hands

Announcer says your name and the crowd goes wild

I've had rodeo dreams since I was a child

I ride in a rodeo a few times a year

Get stomped and bucked and then

I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody

Then I swear it off again

I've been trampled and broken and left in the dirt

Cheered by fans through ten years of hurt

Now I've hung up my number, there's a ranch that I run

Where a man can make a living working out in the sun

Still I ride in a rodeo a few times a year

Get stomped and bucked and then

I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody

Then I swear it off again

My rodeo buddy he's doing real good

He's holding on longer than they thought that he could

He's got a chance in Vegas at the glory and the wealth

Some nights I wonder could I do it myself

So I ride in a rodeo a few times a year

Get stomped and bucked and then

I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody

Then I swear it off again

Yeah I ride in a rodeo a few times a year

Get stomped and bucked and then

I ride enough, I get muddy and bloody

Then I swear it off again
