Verse 1                      
I leave her picture by the door
And I don’t know what for
I can’t explain but I sure know
The pain of having to let her go
I don’t know what’s happening to me
Lord I sure wish it’s a dream
I never thought I’d be the one
To call her up and say we’re done
Chorus
But that’s the life of a rodeo man
You go and go just as hard as you can
I’m heading out and I’m leaving again
And I’ll be back I just don’t know when
That gold buckles got a Knot hold of me
But I love you to I hope you see	
There’s nothing else for me to say 
With a soft kiss I guess I’ll walk away
Verse 2
This isn’t really what I need
To lose the best thing that’s happened to me
But we can’t share our different lives
For a cowboy this is no real surprise
Its all really the same you see
Rodeo, love and all this misery
You give your heart and soul just to try and win
But you always lose something in the end
Chorus
Without you here it’s just not the same
And please be careful where you place the blame
Although rodeos pulling me away
Rodeo will walk away from me someday
Chorus
