When he was a bo
y dreamed of beinâ a man
Probably
dreamed every thing that a
young boy can
Heâs a lover, a fighter, a
saddle bronc rider
An
all-around
hell of a
hand
Chorus
And the spot lights on the sawdust that
shines in his brain
And his
dreams are the bones in his
soul
And theres rivers of dance halls and
wild, red eyeballs
On the
road to the
big rod
eo
Well the chutes are all loade
d, the riggins are set
Lord, the
cowboys ready to ride
Well its pull down his hat
and he spit out his chew
The
rell be a
hot time i
n the old town tonight
The horse in chute eight, he
s a kickin the gate
Lord, he
s big and hes hard and he
s crazy
And the chute boss is a hol
lerin
Co
me on boys,
get on e
m. Im commencin to think youre all lazy
Chorus
And the spot lights on the sawdust that
shines in his brain
And his
dreams are the bones in his
soul
And theres rivers of dance halls and
wild, red eyeballs
On the
road to the
big rod
eo
Instrumental riff
With his spurs in his shoulde
rs, the horse comes unglued
Its like
ridin some kind of explos
ion
And the bronc he starts spi
nnin, the cowboys a grinnin
Doi
n fine the
re in all
the commotion
The crowds on its feet, the
whistle she blows
And the p
ick-up men rush to his side
As they pull him away, he h
ears one of them say
Loo
ks to me li
ke a winni
n ride
Chorus
And the spot lights on the sawdust that
shines in his brain
And his
dreams are the bones in his
soul
And theres rivers of dance halls and
wild, red eyeballs
On the
road to the
big rod
eo
And the spot lights on the sa
wdust that shines in his brain
And his d
reams are the bones in his
soul
And its all cominâ true,
right in front of his eyes
Cu
z hes the
feller who
won the big rodeo
