Testo After the rodeo Aaron Watson

After the rodeo

Just worn out truck, a coffee cup and
Another night out on the interstate
It’s not exactly where he thought he’d be
When he reached this age
There is an old man staring back at him in the rear view
With a million miles of life in his eyes
And makes him ask those questions he don’t want to
Oh, but it might be time

Does a shooting star miss the sky
When it hits the ground
And how long can a woman go on loving you
If you’re not around
The years are flying faster now
So tell me how 8 seconds feel so slow
And I wonder where old cowboys go
After the rodeo

There’s a house and 80 acres he calls home
When he is not on the road
And a woman who’s been true to him so long
But lonely sure gets old
Lately he’s been thinking bout her all the time
And on nights like this he’ll miss her most of all
His body and his mind knows that he needs to find
A softer place to fall

Does a shooting star miss the sky
When it hits the ground
And how long can a woman go on loving you
If you’re not around
The years are flying faster now
So tell me how 8 seconds feel so slow
And I wonder where old cowboys go
After the rodeo

Lord I wonder where old cowboys go
