He hung up his boots for the last time
He put on that white suit and black tie
Lived his life in these stables his stories ain't fables
He wonders how life passed him by
The scars on his hands are like trophies
And each broken bone has a story
Now there's no more crowd screaming or wide-eyed kids dreaming
His life as a cowboy is done
There he goes chasing that moonlight horizon
And he knows he's putting all the glory behind him
The Rodeo King rides on
His legend will live throughout history
Through the stories of cowgirls and whiskey
And now that he's older he spends his days sober
Watching that sunset alone
There he goes chasing that moonlight horizon
And he knows he's putting all the glory behind him
The Rodeo King rides on
Now there's nothing but dust on that saddle
On a shelf buried deep in the shadows
That leather's been weathered all worn out and tethered
Like the memories of when he was young
There he goes chasing that moonlight horizon
And he knows he's putting all the glory behind him
There he goes his star shining bright like a diamond
And he knows you can't shake the pride that's inside him
The Rodeo King rides on
The Rodeo King rides on
Whoa
Whoa
