I got bucked off down in Prescott
And I've been drivin' half the night
Down this long and lonesome highway
It seems there ain't no end in sight
I didn't make the short-go
But if I make it to Cheyenne
There'll be another bronc to ride
And I just might have a chance
If I keep

One hand in the riggin'
And one hand on the wheel
No matter how far down the road I go
There's always one more rodeo
She'd like for me to settle down
But long as I'm still livin'
I'll keep one hand on the wheel
And one hand in the riggin'

What it is that keeps me goin'
Sometimes I just don't know
For the years that I've spent ridin'
I don't have much to show
While she waits all alone
Hopin' I'll come back to stay
But there's always one more mile to drive
Down another lonely highway
And I keep

One hand in the riggin'
One hand on the wheel
No matter how far down the road I go
There's always one more rodeo
She'd like for me to settle down
Long as I'm still livin'
I'll keep one hand on the wheel
And one hand in the riggin'

One hand on the wheel
And one hand in the riggin'
