One stanza at a time country western song

richlevy • Apr 4, 2009 2:50 pm
I thought it would be cool to write a country western song. Maybe if we write the lyrics someone can put it to music.

I've created the refrain.
Include what has been written so far in regular type and add your own stanza in bold.

Refrain:

I was once a rodeo champion.
But only beer and shots remain.
I've spent my whole life as a cowboy
And now I'm just a man in pain.

I was once a rodeo champion.
But only beer and shots remain.
I've spent my whole life as a cowboy
And now I'm just a man in pain.

We was born in the back woods
Pa said I was no good
He kicked me out when I was ten
So I hit the highway
Thought I'd do it my way
And become me a rodeo man

We was born in the back woods
Pa said I was no good
He kicked me out when I was ten
So I hit the highway
Thought I'd do it my way
And become me a rodeo man

I was once a rodeo champion.
But only beer and shots remain.
I've spent my whole life as a cowboy
And now I'm just a man in pain.

Got trained up in the rodeo
From clown to buckin' Bronco
Met Brokeback chaps along the way
One night down South
Got a pecker in my mouth
And became me a rodeo gay


I was once a rodeo champion.
But only beer and shots remain.
I've spent my whole life as a cowboy
And now I'm just a man in pain.

I've spent my whole damned life a cowboy
And now I'm just a man in pain.

One night down South

And became me a rodeo gay

I started ridin' English style
I'd trot then canter for a while
And then I started wearing jodhpur pants
Skin tight, sharkskin, no underwear
In shocking pink with faux mohair
And became me a rodeo Nancy

Most like ridin' horses
I prefer them ridin' me.
We slip outside behind the barn
Where the sheep and cows can't see
I go whinny, but I don't go "nay"
And I don't like geldings any day.
I'm a horseboy not a cowboy, yippie cay yay!
