Lyrics
I?ve spent a lifetime building fences
And burning down bridges from the past
And I should have known this heart wasn?t strong enough
To make a love like this last
(chorus)
In this rodeo that we call life
Only strong hearts will survive
I do my best to make that 8 second ride
In this damned old rodeo we call life
Well there?s whiskey on my breath and she?s still on my mind
Well she said this heart was cold but there?s a fire that burns inside
From the heartbreak and hotels and every city limit sign
There sweeping up the ashes still from a bridge I burnt last night
Chorus
16 bar break
Chorus X 2
