Round And Round She Goes - Chris Ledoux

On a cold montana morning

On the road to idaho

I watched her order hot and black to go

And her boots and spurs and blue jeans

And the lonely in her eyes

Told me just how much she loved the rodeos

I asked where she was headin'

She said, the boise show

She took a third in butte just yesterday

No, she never has been married

And she probably never will

'cause silver buckle dreams

Don’t leave time for standing still

Round and round and round she goes

Where she stops nobody knows

The miles are gettin' longer

The nights they never end

Old rodeos and livestock shows

Keep the lady on the go

Lord, she loves to run those barrels

And it’s the only life she knows

For now on fifteen seasons

The circuit’s been her home

And at times she misses kids she never had

But she wouldn’t trade a minute

Of the years that she’s got in it

'cause she’s had herself some happy

She’s learned to take the sad

When I looked up from my coffee

I saw boise on her mind

She had that look of leavin' in her eyes

As she drove into the morning

It slowly dawned on me

How hard it is to tell a dream goodbye

Round and round and round she goes

Where she stops nobody knows

The miles are gettin' longer

The nights they never end

Old rodeos and livestock shows

Lord, she loves to run those barrels

And it’s the only life she knows
