Life's Too Short Not to Rodeo

from Heaven by Jared Rogerson

	/

lyrics

I gave up bustin’ broncs to put down some roots/ Now I’m like a gun on the wall that nobody shoots/ I don’t aim to complain ‘bout the loss of what might’ve been/ But I’m feeling the urge to pull the trigger once again

I’ve been schooled in getting’ kicked and drug around/ But that was nothing compared to how this job beats me down/ Workin’ 9 to 5 just robs you of your prime/ I gotta clock out, I’m just wasting time

Turn me loose boys, right or wrong, I’m a time-bomb ‘bout to explode/ I’m gonna give her hell ‘cause I know too well I’m no stranger to getting’ throwed/ You gotta grab the buck rein and live for today ‘cause tomorrow may not show/ And life’s too short not to rodeo

I got a smokin’ hot wife and two kids of my own/ Still countin’ on me to bring home the dough/ And it’s a sacrifice ‘cause I’ll miss them every mile/ But it’s about time daddy came home with a smile

Turn me loose boys, right or wrong, I’m a time-bomb ‘bout to explode/
I’m gonna give her hell ‘cause I know too well I’m no stranger to getting’ throwed/ You gotta grab the buck rein and live for today ‘cause tomorrow may not show/ And life’s too short not to rodeo

You can never get back years gone by/ But you can live lifetime in an 8-second ride

So turn me loose boys, right or wrong, it’s time now to explode/
I’m gonna give her hell ‘cause I know damn well, tonight I’m not getting’ throwed/ You gotta grab the buck rein and live for today ‘cause tomorrow may not show/ And life’s too short not to rodeo

Life’s too short not to rodeo
