Luck of The Draw



I did not plan to rodeo the rest of my life
I hoped one day you might be my wife
last night you were gone with the wind
tonight I drawed the rankest bull in the pen
you can not handle being with a rodeo man
and this ol' cowboy don't understand
I felt we were going to make it
then you bucked me out of your life
if only you could have given us a chance
we could have made some plans
