[Verse]
Dust on my boots, memories in the wind
Whiskey in my veins, can't let the hurt begin
Her name on the breeze, but it cuts like a knife
She took the saddle, left me with this life
[Chorus]
Heartbreak rodeo, spinning out of control
Bucking through the pain, can’t let it take my soul
Cowboy in the dark, holding on to the reins
Riding through the storm, drowning in the rain
[Verse 2]
Barbed wire fences, tangled in my chest
Her goodbye a lasso, pulling at my best
Torn-up letters, scattered in the dirt
Every line a dagger, every word still hurts
[Bridge]
The stars above mock me, shining so bright
Lonely guitar strings hum through the night
Her ghost rides shotgun, can't shake the sight
This heartbreak rodeo’s my only fight
[Chorus]
Heartbreak rodeo, spinning out of control
Bucking through the pain, can’t let it take my soul
Cowboy in the dark, holding on to the reins
Riding through the storm, drowning in the rain
[Verse 3]
Barn door creaks, silence where she stood
Empty rocking chair, I'd fix it if I could
The moon's my witness, the wolves all howl
This lonesome cowboy’s lost his gal
