Lyrics: Johnny Cash. Bull Rider.


Well first you gotta want to get off,
Bad enough to want to get on in the first place
And you better trust in your lady luck
Pray to God that she don?t give up on you right now

Live fast, die young, bull rider

One hand hold is all you got
To pit you and the bull against the clock and a course crowd
And once apon a spinning ton
Nothing else you?ve ever done can pull this way
You?re just outside the bucking chute
You lose a spur and you lose your seat and you lose yourself
By now he?s bucking mean and dirty
Slinging mud and cowboy boots and kicking clowns

No fools, no fun, bull rider


You gotta feel the way he?s moving, you gotta watch his head
And brace yourself for anything that render you might dead
You know the art of hanging loose is hanging just as tight
Well it?s something like a hurricane that?s dancing with a kite

Well the rodeo is more than rough
It?s a fact of life and it?s tough to cut and it?s beaver hats
It?s drinking beer and pulling trailers
Tight lemae on barrel racers and a horse bucking

No rides, no pay, bull rider

Live fast, die young, bull rider
