Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Dusty boots and worn-out spurs Chasing dreams beneath these swirling clouds [Verse 1] There ain’t much to him And not many words said Only owns the cloths he’s wearing Worn out boots and the hat atop his head He puts out his cigarette Right before he shuts his eyes As he drifts off to sleep The rodeo is on his mind. [Pre-Chorus] Mama’s tears and papa’s pride Gotta make it or I’ll be stuck here in this rural night [Chorus] Ridin’ the wild, trying to hit the big time Chasing the glory, leaving fears behind Struggles and scars, but I won’t quit now Just a poor bull rider, gonna make it somehow [Verse 2] His body has been beat down and broken before But again, he nods his head asking for some more It’s 8 seconds to glory or 8 seconds to death He prays for many more rodeos before his final breath He has left his woman crying begging him to stay Still he loads up his truck, to be gone the next day [Pre-Chorus] Praying he sees one more ride Before the final buzzer in the arena he will stay [Chorus] Ridin’ the wild, trying to hit the big time Chasing the glory, leaving fears behind Struggles and scars, but I won’t quit now Just a poor bull rider, gonna make it somehow [Bridge] Every fall is a lesson learned Every scar’s a badge I’ve earned Dreams of the bright lights and the roar One day, I’ll settle, but not yet for sure [Outro] Dust settles over these rugged lands Hoping my name will be cheered, someday in the stands Till then I ride, regardless of the cost Living this wild dream, never counting the loss
