Classic Country Lyrics: "No Ordinary Man" von Tracy Bird

Von den vielen Stetsonträgern mit Gitarre, die
in den 1990ern aufkamen, gehört Tracy Bird
zu denen, welche noch bei den traditionellsten
Countrystars jüngerer Zeit sind. Einer seiner
bekanntesten Hits, "No Ordinary Man", han-
delt sogar von einem Rodeo-Cowboy.

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 hands
Well, a rodeo ain't no ordinary life
But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man

CHORUS:
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 hands
Well, 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
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

CHORUS
