Champion Ride The night of the rodeo Drew very near He thought of long ago Not far from hear He remembers watching the arena And seeing his father win He then remembers Trina His mother who died when he was ten His father had won the rodeo With his mighty skill When the bull double zero Came in for the kill But that was a long time ago When Billy was only seventeen He has had a long time to grow To decide he wanted to be a champion Billy he rode him well He really tried He gave it hell And then he cried Everyone had seen And asked why he cried He said not because I am champion Because I owe to my champion who died...
