I couldn’t help but think of the words to the song, “I’ve Got to be a Rodeo Man” by the late, great Chris LeDoux after spending the afternoon with this young man. Quick with a story, a smile and full of charm this one is…
I fully expect that we will see great things from this guy….meet Garrett
Sometimes this old road
Gets so damn lonesome away from home
Ain’t no way in sight, head on back
Nobody knows the way it feels
Suffer through this living hell
Unless you’ve been on down that road yourself
Boy, don’t you know I ain’t really a bum
I was once a clean cut mothers son?
And you know down deep inside still I am
But this rodeo life’s got it’s hold on me
And there ain’t no way to set me free
You know I’ve gotta be a rodeo man
Skinny old dog on the rodeo grounds
Scroungin’, sniffin’, lookin’ around
In a lot of ways, well, I’m just like him
‘Cause I’m eating up scraps off the dinner table
In a greasy cafe ’til I’m able
To ride those broncs good enough to win
Boy, don’t you know I ain’t really a bum
I was once a clean cut mothers son?
And you know down deep inside still I am
Oh, this rodeo life’s got it’s hold on me
And there ain’t no way to set me free
You know I’ve gotta be a rodeo man
You know I’ve gotta be a rodeo man
