I got bucked off down in Prescott

And I've been drivin' half the night

Down this long and lonesome highway

It seems there ain't no end in sight

I didn't make the short-go

But if I make it to Cheyenne

There'll be another bronc to ride

And I just might have a chance

If I keep

One hand in the riggin'

And one hand on the wheel

No matter how far down the road I go

There's always one more rodeo

She'd like for me to settle down

But long as I'm still livin'

I'll keep one hand on the wheel

And one hand in the riggin'

What it is that keeps me goin'

Sometimes I just don't know

For the years that I've spent ridin'

I don't have much to show

While she waits all alone

Hopin' I'll come back to stay

But there's always one more mile to drive

Down another lonely highway

And I keep

One hand in the riggin'

One hand on the wheel

No matter how far down the road I go

There's always one more rodeo

She'd like for me to settle down

Long as I'm still livin'

I'll keep one hand on the wheel

And one hand in the riggin'

One hand on the wheel

And one hand in the riggin'
