(Recorded by eight-time World Champion Bull Rider,
Donny Gay, for the rodeo album "American Cowboy")
Words & Music by
James Nihan and Cheryl Durham-Owens
HE'S GOT BRIGHT RED BANDANAS TIED TO HIS BELT LOOPS
HOLES IN HIS HAT AND A PAINTED ON SMILE
HE TRAVELS THE CIRCUIT LIKE SO MANY COWBOYS
HE KNOWS EVERY LONG LONESOME MILE
HE'S A DARE-DEVIL HERO, AN ANGEL OF MERCY
A BULLFIGHTER STANDING HIS GROUND
WHILE SOME FALLEN RIDER SCRAMBLES FOR SAFETY
GOD BLESS THE RODEO CLOWN
- CHORUS -
HE MAKES IT LOOK EASY BUT WE KNOW THE TRUTH
HE'S RISKING HIS LIFE TO SAVE ME AND YOU
HE'S THERE WHEN A COWBOY GOES DOWN
GOD BLESS THE RODEO CLOWN
HE WON'T WIN A BUCKLE, HE WON'T GET THE GLORY
YOU WON'T SEE HIS NAME UP IN LIGHTS
BUT ALL OF THE COWBOYS GIVE HIM THE CREDIT
FOR KEEPING THEIR STARS SHINING BRIGHT
HE'S BEEN THERE IN HOUSTON, TUCSON AND DENVER
HE'S THE REASON THAT WE'RE STILL AROUND
SO THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE HIM, TAKE OFF YOUR STETSON
GOD BLESS THE RODEO CLOWN
(REPEAT CHORUS)
HE'S GOT BRIGHT RED BANDANAS TIED TO HIS BELT LOOPS
HOLES IN HIS HAT AND A PAINTED ON SMILE
