The Greatest Prize

(album: Thirty Dollar Cowboy - 1983)

I rodeoed on the circuit for nearly fifteen years
To reach the top it took a lot of blood sweat and tears
I finally won the title I finally gained the fame
But honey it don't matter if the whole world knows my name
Of all the things I've ever done I have to tell you true
The greatest prize I've ever won is the love I won from you

You stuck by me through thick and thin just why Lord only knows
You came along when I sang my songs at all those country shows
And when the lights were shining on me and me alone
You stood back in the shadows but I want you to know
Of all the things I've ever done...
Of all the things I've ever done...
