Desert Heart Rodeo

I wake with dust on my boots

And a song still half alive

I am just livin' in my cowboy life

Young heart under a wide blue sky

Riding fences where the dust roads wind Writing little songs when the

moon climbs high

Some days the horse hangs his head Like the heat took hold

of his pride

I got a young heart and a saddle worn brown

A notebook full of trails I found If the sun beats hard

on the dry plain ground

I slow my horse and turn around Yeah,

I am just livin' my cowboy life

One honest mile at a time

Mama said the road will teach you slow

Daddy said be kind to what you ride

So I loosen up the reins at noon

Let him drink where cottonwoods hide

Then I scratch a line in my pocket book About patience and

the passing light

I got a young heart and a saddle worn brown

A notebook full of trails I found If the sun beats hard

on the dry plain ground

I slow my horse and turn around

Yeah, I am just livin' my cowboy life

One honest mile at a time

When the horizon shakes with heat I learn the worth of shade

A restless boy can miss the truth

If he is always racing away

I got a young heart and a saddle worn brown

I know when to ride and when to slow down Yeah,

I am just livin' my cowboy life

One honest mile at a time

One honest mile at a time
