He's packed up his boots and the saddle 17, headin' out on his own And he'll rodeo from Cheyenne to Texas Dreamin' of one ride in Vegas One ride in Vegas ♪ Lonely nights in rundown motel rooms Aches and pains from yesterday's ride It's takin' more than he thought he could give it But he's holdin' on for one ride in Vegas One ride in Vegas And he's riskin' it all, driven by a hunger That never will let him give up And with the fire in his eyes, he dances with thunder 'Til one day his day finally comes
His heart beats fast with anticipation Brighter lights than he's ever seen before He's waited his whole life for the next eight seconds And he'd do it all again for one ride in Vegas One ride in Vegas ♪ He's an old man now, four times world champion A modern day legend every cowboy knows his name He's all settled down on his ranch down in Texas But he'd trade it all today for one ride in Vegas One more ride in Vegas
