I grew up on a ranch, where the sky is big and wide Learned to ride horses and rope cattle, side by side But now I'm here, in a city loud and gray Tryin' to find my place, but my heart's still ridin' away Rodeo heart, I'm a country boy With a heart that beats strong, like a horse that gallops free I'm a man of few words, but my heart speaks loud and clear Rodeo heart, I'm a man who'll always be here I work in an office, but my heart's out in the range Dreamin' of the freedom, of ridin' through the open plain I know I can't go back, to the ranch where I grew up But I can keep alive, the spirit of the rodeo in my soul Rodeo heart, I'm a country boy With a heart that beats strong, like a horse that gallops free I'm a man of few words, but my heart speaks loud and clear Rodeo heart, I'm a man who'll always be here
