No Ordinary Man

(lonnie williams/frank dycus/tracy byrd)



Eight seconds ain't very long to live

But tonight he barely made five

He gave all that he had to give

But the big bull won tonight

He climbs into that old pickup

Black coffee in his hand

Rodeo ain't no ordinary life

But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man



Well he rides just to keep his spirit alive

Makin' money for his wife and kids

He tried other kinds of work

But nothing ever seemed to fit

Oh he loves the smell of a brahma bull

The feel of leather in his hand

Rodeo ain't no ordinary life

But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man



He's got a gold buckle on his mind

And he don't ride to lose

Tomorrow night he'll nod and yell outside

And they'll turn his future loose

But no matter how bad he hurts

He'll tip his hat to the fans

Rodeo ain't no ordinary life

But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man



Well he rides just to keep his spirit alive

Makin' money for his wife and kids

He tried other kinds of work

But nothing ever seemed to fit

Oh he loves the smell of a brahma bull

The feel of leather in his hand

Well rodeo ain't no ordinary life

But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man



Well he rides just to keep his spirit alive

Makin' money for his wife and kids

He tried other kinds of work

But nothing ever seemed to fit

Oh he loves the smell of a brahma bull

The feel of leather in his hand

Well rodeo ain't no ordinary life

But a cowboy ain't no ordinary

He's an extra ordinary man
