Chris LeDoux - Montana Rodeo Lyrics






There's a rodeo in Montana where they come from miles around
Where they throw the hooligan and a bunch of beer cans
All over that little cow town from Friday night to Sunday afternoon
The party goes on nonstop
Ranch hands and rodeo fans are drinking up the very last drop
And they all head for Montana at the foot of the Great Divide
To tie one up or tie one onor to tear it down or ride
So if you're lookin' for a rondavue where the Wild West never dies
You best make it on up to Montana on the right day in July

Now there's some college boys for lazuli here school is just let out
They got a keg of beer on a tub of ice in the back of a brand new Scout
Well they're all longhorns and as sure as you're born
They'll be checkin' those honey's out
And the girls in the cut off jeans might just show 'em what its all about
And there's Indians from the ranches all dressed up in cowboy clothes
Snap button shirts and silver belt buckles and boots with pointed toes
Short hair Stetson hats wiggin' on a jug of Yellow Stone
Well they look more like cowboys then the cowboys I have known
And there's some hippies here from God knows where a puffin' up a cloud of smoke
They got hair down past their shoulders and their clothes are a national joke
They got beads and leather and bells and feathers and moccasins for shoes
Well they look more like Indians than the real live Indians do
And then there's barrel racers and a bull riders and bronc stompers to boot
Struttin' their stuff like Peacocks out in back of the chutes
Tight Levis fancy chaps spurs with five star rowels
And the bull just stands there chewin' his cut lookin' wiser than a tree full of owls
And they all head for Montana...

    My dad was raised in Bozeman as me as well... I will completely agree. Thats why we live in Livingston now.Its nothing like it use to be.

  22. M.... W....

    MISS Chris!

  23. M.... W....

    No he wasn't

  24. M.... W....

    You have no idea what it used to be like.

  25. M.... W....

    Not from MT, are you?

  26. M.... W....

    go back from whence you come!

  27. M.... W....

    Been there done it. 1992. What a hoot! Loved that barebacker-down with the timies! GO ROUGH STOCK!!!!!

  28. M.... W....

    Too bad it's not like this anymore. Cowboy Christmas is a joke. A bunch of Calies and NYs are what it's all about now. Breaks my heart - moving in 10 years to the middle of nowhere. Only way to get away from the idiots.

  29. M.... W....

    If he was here Bozeman he would be disgraced. You all are a bunch of Cal and NY nothings- would break his heart to see what has become of this state. Shame on you.

    M.... W....

    Mary Weidn I am originally from Amsterdam Churchill but moved to Bozeman 12 years ago and I couldn't have said it better myself

  30. M.... W....

    Go GRIZZZZZZ!

  31. M.... ....

    GO CATS!! ESG, GCG!! It can't be the Buckin horse sale that's May, it must be Livingston.

  32. J.... H....

    Guerantee it's Livingston, the biggest paying rodeo in the state!!!!!!!!!! If anyone knew Chris he was a Cats fan an hated the little cubs, GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. T.... M....

  34. J.... C....

  36. M.... F....

  38. C.... D....
