I own this horse and saddle   And that old cadillac   This broken down horse trailer   And the clothes that are on my back   Well I know that it ain't a hell of alot   But it's all that I can show      My wife left me five years ago   In one of those rodeo towns   I can't say that I blame her much   She just wanted to settle down   Oh God how I miss that woman   It hurt so to see her go   If I was smart I woulda stuck by her   But I'm hooked on this rodeo      Chorus:   And I'm just a lonesome cowboy   I'm a little bit over the hill   I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago   But I guess I never will   So I keep on movin from show to show   Hopin to change my luck   My good ol days are just a memory   But I just can't give it up      There was a time I used to do alright   And bring home my share of the dough   But now I'm losin out to the younger boys   I guess I must be gettin slow   But there's one thing you learn from this   You gotta make it on your own   Cause when your on top you've got a million friends   But when your down buddy you're all alone      Repeat chorus      My good ol days are just a memory   But I just can't give it up
