Keeping Rosie Proud Of Me

(Album: The Winner And Other Losers - 1976)

We've come a long way on this East Texas highway
and I'm feeling awfully old at forty three.
Sure am glad that Rosie's here with me.

I guess I showed 'em what I could do,
when I rode everything in Houston.
Boy was Rosie proud of me.

I'm just a broken down old rodeo rider,
trying to make just one more show.
Shoulda hung it up a long time ago.

Cause I've been kicked and I've been down
and busted to my knees.
Just a keeping Rosie proud of me.

You see Rosie's young and pretty,
She likes to have her fun.
She don't have it with me,
she gonna have it with someone.

I gotta finish in the money,
so we can go on to Cheyenne,
And I can go on being Rosie's man.

You see Rosie's young and pretty.
She likes to have her fun.
She don't have it with me,
she gonna have it with someone.

I gotta finish in the money Lord,
so we can go on to Cheyenne,
And I can go on being Rosie's man.

I can go on being Rosie's man.
