After the Rodeo - Aaron Watson

作词：Don Rollins/Troy Olsen

作曲：Don Rollins/Troy Olsen/Don Rollins/Troy Olsen

Just a 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 she 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

You're not around

The years are flying faster now

So tell me how eight seconds feel so slow

And I wonder where old cowboys go

After the rodeo

There's a house and eighty acres he calls home

When he's 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 eight seconds feel so slow

And I wonder where old cowboys go

After the rodeo

Lord I wonder where old cowboys go
