It's tough to stay on one of those bucking beasts for 8 seconds! Being a professional cowboy isn't an easy job.

Alan D. David. Songwriter and performer in various musical genres. By trade, I am a lead guitarist. But, in recent years I have become more of a songwriter/comp
For over 40 years I played lead guitar and did back-up vocals in various country bands. It has been one of the greatest thrills of my life. But, these days I stay at home and compose songs, both lyrics and music. My writing style is much broader than just country music. I also write southern rock, a little blues, lots of smooth jazz and movie themes and even some latin music. I have been writing for about 20 years and hope to for quite a few more years.

Story behind the song
Was watching bullriding on TV several weeks ago and decided to write a song about being a professional bullrider. Simple as that!
Lyrics
Ride Cowboy Ride (v1) Ate some dirt down in Santa Fe Sometimes it just doesn’t go your way Makes you think about packing up and heading home But quittin’ is something that cowboys won’t condone Cuz next week you’ll get another ride in San Antone CHORUS Ride cowboy ride, that’s what you do Eight seconds is all they need from you Ride cowboy ride, it’s in your blood A cowboy high, an adrenaline flood Ride cowboy, ride (v2) Just your luck, got the toughest draw But you don’t care, cuz you can ride ‘em all The ice water in your veins is pounding fast and cold Fort Worth, Denver, seems you’re always on the road Each ride gets you closer to that buckle of gold (c) 2009 Alan D. David, BMI
