I Do It For Me

Meet a rodeo cowboy in Billings killing time trading stories and beer

And asked him how he made a living riding broncs and bull doggin' steers

Well he smiled as he tipped his hat slowly he said friend it ain't all like it seems

While some folks are makin' a livin' others are livin' their dreams

And some cowboys ride for the buckle some for the rodeo name

Some like the sound or the thrill of the crowd and others got no place to stay

Some do it for love and others for money some ride for glory or fame

But through all of my seasons of all of the reasons

I've stayed on this circuit for me

I said I've been on this suicide circuit for the best part of fifteen long years

Don't let this ol porker face fool you because beneath it a measure of fear

I've been beat, I've been down I've been busted till my body was cryin' with pain

Take a couple of days and shake it all off and you do it all over again

And some cowboys ride...

I've stayed on this circuit for me
