Aaron Watson - After The Rodeo lyrics

rate me

Just worn out truck, a coffee cup and

Another night out on the interstate

It’s not exactly where he thought he’d be

When he reached this age

There is an old man staring back at him in the rear view

With a million miles of life in his eyes

And makes him ask those questions he don’t want to

Oh, but it might be time

Does a shooting star miss the sky

When it hits the ground

And how long can a woman go on loving you

If you’re not around

The years are flying faster now

So tell me how 8 seconds feel so slow

And I wonder where old cowboys go

After the rodeo

There’s a house and 80 acres he calls home

When he is not on the road

And a woman who’s been true to him so long

But lonely sure gets old

Lately he’s been thinking bout her all the time

And on nights like this he’ll miss her most of all

His body and his mind knows that he needs to find

A softer place to fall

Does a shooting star miss the sky

When it hits the ground

And how long can a woman go on loving you

If you’re not around

The years are flying faster now

So tell me how 8 seconds feel so slow

And I wonder where old cowboys go

After the rodeo

Lord I wonder where old cowboys go
