I remember as a child, though the time were tough
Daddy made a living driving an old feed grain truck
Mama worked the fields from daylight to dusk
But every night at supper time was family time for us

I drive down rodeo road, highway of memories paved in gold
When the world's about to swallow me whole
That's where I go, down rodeo road

I bought my first Ford when I turned sixteen
I had my fill of working to earn a young boys dream
And mom and dad had their way to keep my nose clean

I drive down rodeo road, highway of memories paved in gold
When the world's about to swallow me whole
That's where I go, down rodeo road

My wife and I are raising two girls
We work long hours to build them a better world
Though times have changed, they're no different then they were
So remember these words when it all feels unsure

I drive down rodeo road, highway of memories paved in gold
When the world's about to swallow me whole
That's where I go, down rodeo road
down rodeo road
down rodeo road
