round and round she goes
Singer:chris ledoux
on a cold montana morning
i watched her order hot and black to go. and her boots and spurs and blue jeans
and the lonely in her eyes
told me just how much she loved the rodeos. i asked where she was headin'
the boise show. she took a third in butte just yesterday. no
she never has been married
and she probably never will
'cause silver buckle dreams
don't leave time for standing still. round and round and round she goes
where she stops nobody knows. the miles are gettin' longer
the nights they never end. old rodeos and livestock shows
keep the lady on the go. lord
she loves to run those barrels
and it's the only life she knows. for now on fifteen seasons
the circuit's been her home
and at times she misses kids she never had. but she wouldn't trade a minute
of the years that she's got in it
'cause she's had herself some happy
she's learned to take the sad. when i looked up from my coffee
she had that look of leavin' in her eyes. as she drove into the morning
how hard it is to tell a dream goodbye
round and round and round she goes
where she stops nobody knows. the miles are gettin' longer
the nights they never end. old rodeos and livestock shows
she loves to run those barrels
and it's the only life she knows.
