Craig Morgan - Cowboy And Clown Lyrics






As he climbed in the chute, the crowd held it's breath:
He was seconds from glory or moments from death.
They knew with this bull, it could go either way.
He said: "Let her go boys." and prayed

He hung on for eight but he couldn't get loose:
That's when a clown they call Crazy came to his rescue.
When the dust finally settled, they both walked away.
Yeah, they became best of friends that day.

The cowboy an' clown, close as two brothers.
Chips up or down, they could count on each other.
Buckles an' beers, winnin' an' losin':
Laughter an' tears, broken hearts an' bruises.
They lived for the next final round:
The cowboy an' clown.

From Denver to Dallas, to the Calgary Stampede:
They took all those towns, an' a few in between.
But it ended one night, in a West Texas town:
The bulls either got faster, or ol' Crazy slowed down.

Five hundred pick-ups, lights on, drivin' slow.
A tent on the hill at the end of the road.
When the last Bible closed, one cowboy stood.
He said: "Let her go boys" and prayed

The cowboy an' clown, close as two brothers.
Chips up or down, they could count on each other.
Buckles an' beers, winnin' an' losin':
Laughter an' tears, broken hearts an' bruises.
They lived for the next final round:
The cowboy an' clown.

Craig Morgan Cowboy And Clown Comments
  1. J.... A....

    I have saved many men I Love all you bull riders out there I'm happy I can help you guys

  2. f.... ....

    I don't ride and I'm not a bullfighter but this song kicks my ass

  3. G.... ....

    That’s not how this comment works. That’s not how any of these comments work.

  4. D.... M....

    I've been riding high since I was sixteen and been tied up caught up couldn't get loose. I ride for my buddy who got killed while riding bull. It was our passion to ride and hit another rodeo together. So I continue riding for him. We was like brothers.

  5. B.... C....

    this song reminds me of my best friend

  6. j.... g....

    most dangerous sport in the world...any guy that's brave enough to ride a bull,I take my hat off to.they got my respect

  7. R.... I....

    LOL  I have a good friend...he got hung up one night the bullfighter couldn't get in as the bull was wrapping too fast.  So the bullfighter (Tony L) just stood there broke down while my buddy was helicoptering around...Tony had the stupidest look on his face....My buddy, Jay, had this terrified look until Tony was able to get in there and get his tail.  Funniest shit I've ever seen.

    R.... I....

    funniest shit because u went the one hung up

    R.... I....

    I assume you meant "U weren't the one hung up".  You'd be incorrect.  I never find it funny at people's misfortunes.  If Jay (my buddy) wouldn't have been laughing afterwards...and Tony wouldn't have been laughing...and Jay and I both agreed...Tony had a stupid look on his face....If that hadn't happened...I wouldn't have found it funny at all. 

  8. A.... P....

    I've rode since I was 13, I'm 23 now, won in the Federation bullriding and A.F.R.A. , broke lots of bones it's a passion, I seen my brother get killed while fighting a bull for me and that's the reason I still ride to this day

    A.... P....

    Austin Pratt good way to show him that you love him

    A.... P....

    Austin Pratt I fell sorr u for your loss and your shoeing that you love him he is probley locking down at you right now.

  9. h.... b....

  10. C.... C....

    rip tizzler Ross ur missed ride them bulls in heaven buddy

  11. B.... H....

    all I'm gonna say is Lane Frost The world champion bull rider Song reminds me of him

  12. J.... C....

    This is not just any song, but a message to all of us. Many of us become closer to strangers when they watch our backs then some we call family. Soldiers don't do and die for God and country, they do and die for the men and women standing up beside them. Rodeo clowns and bullfighters do that for the bull riders.

  13. C.... W....

    I want to ride bulls n be a fighter

    C.... W....

    Good luck cousin

  14. T.... F....

    This song goes out to my buddy Fenstra, hope your doing well my old friend, if ya'll come back to town give me a shout.  Fenstra and Faue close as two brothers, we lived for that next final round.

    T.... M....

    T.... M....

    my life was saved last year by a fighter. they don't get enough credit for what they do. but I make sure after every ride that I thank anyone who is in the arena to help if shit hits the fan.

    T.... M....

    Bullfighters are the backbone of the bullfighting industry. Without them, there would be nothing

    T.... M....

    Its just our job :). Glad to help anyone.

  19. b.... ....

    My son has been riding bulls (junior & senior) since he was 10 years old. He's 20 now and helps run a youth rodeo, working with the younger roughstock kids. He has been saved many times by a bullfighter stepping in his path, or cover his back.  Bullfighters are true heroes in my book! The best friend a bullrider can ever have!

  20. K.... W....

    This song makes me cry every time

  21. N.... M....

    The most thankless job. Real men are clowns

  22. T.... S....

    My ex died on a bull I miss him so much and I love him so much I have a 15 year old boy from him he remind me of him so much

  23. r.... ....

    to any bullfighter thank you for what you do you keep riders alive and you're really the brave ones at the rodeos, and you don't get the recognition you should but thanks. and an awesome song by Craig Morgan

  24. M.... ....

    Thumbs up for the bullfighter at the Laton Rodeo in Laton California last week. I heard he got some broken ribs but saved that cowboy

  25. A.... M....

  26. 1.... ....

    Reminds me of my late brother my best friend he loved to rodeo. Also reminds me of my nephew who is a bull fighter and my late nephew who was a bull rider and aOut Rider that died at the Calgary Stampede in 1996. This song makes me remember them and all my other family and friends that love to rodeo and the Bull fighters that put themselves out there to help those cowboys!

  28. c.... ....

  37. c.... ....

    @CountryBoySC1993 thanks man iam pretty sure he looks down on us when were at a rodeo keeping us safe and helping us get away from those bulls

  38. C.... ....

    @chevy4889 Cheers for your uncle man, im sure he's enjoying his time up in heaven

  39. c.... ....

    @CountryBoySC1993 my uncle would love this song if he was still alive he used to be a bull fighter but died in an accident a few years ago but he used to be really good at the rodeos

  40. c.... ....

    @09TruckFire true but there also called clowns cuz they dress up like clowns sometimes

  41. C.... ....

    @c4bucknbulls Thanks for everything you do for the ones that ride.

  42. C.... ....

    @cowboyup2550 Yep there live savers, Specially when your hung up and cant get loose. they step in there and get you lose risking there life also.. I love bull riding though

  43. B.... E....

    Everytime i hear this song i get goosebumps. Im not a cowboy and dont claim to be im just a good ole country boy and i respect these folks for what they do. They put their lives in harms way to protect their friends and strangers.

  44. M.... G....

    I rode alotta miles and a few years with a fella I'm proud to call my friend "Smurf Horton" He's still one helluva bullfighter n cowboy. Great song!

  45. J.... H....

    i know who wrote this song. its about her best friend he was a navy seal and a side road bomb killed. and when he died this how she felt so she rote it down. she plays fiddle professionally and she knows Craig Morgan so she handed him the notes and he didn't even change a note cause its right from the heart.

    J.... H....

    Jacob Haynes actually Steve Calvert wrote this song and sold the rights to Craig Morgan. So your information is incorrect.

  46. C.... B....

    @c4bucknbulls i appreciate everything you do....you guys save lives by puttin yours on the line....ive ridden and i have been saved by you guys and i wouldnt want anybody else to have my back thank you

  47. M.... ....

    @c4bucknbulls my boyfriend rode bulls and he got horned in the back and died in less than 30 minutes. This song tells so much about his life. he was best friends with a clown riding was his life. At his funeral i sang this song and we had his horse there. It was a beautiful service but i know if it wasnt for the bullfighters his life could've ended along time ago. thank you so much for everything you do...

  48. J.... T....

    @212bass I love that movie is so good but... I do not remember hearing it in the movie?

  49. t.... ....

    @RidingOnFaith they just dont play the good stuff on the radio

  50. C.... ....

    I wanna ride a bull one day, and its gonna happen one day too:)

  51. s.... f....

    This song reminds me of my ex-husband. He was a bull-fighter/rodeo clown, and he was very proud of it! Although we grew apart, and didn't get along anymore, this still makes me feel sentimental.... He injured his back at work (not in a rodeo), and will never be able to do it again.... That's sad, because I know how much he loved it.

  52. h.... ....

    it is a good song

  53. t.... r....

    i cant wait to ride bulls and become a bull fighter.. bull fighters are the main thing in a rodeo

  54. 0.... ....

    There Called Bull Fighters not Clowns!!

  55. B.... B....

    last year on october 23 and 24 i rode my fist bull im only 16 didn't start on juniors just started on senior bulls that night i hopped on a bull named spot and soon as i was ready i shaked my head yes and they opened that shoot i rode for 7.27 seconds he flipped me in the air hooked my leg and some how my spur got caught in the rope i thought i was going to die then a bull fighter jumped in and got me loose and he became a good friend of mine after that. thanks randy borrow

  56. A.... C....

    ever will be brothers

  57. b.... ....

    my brother was hospitalized back in 05 because a bull stomped right on in ribs and stomache. the dr. only gave him two percent chance to make it. the only reason he survived is because the bull fighter moved him out of the way before the bull got another chance to step on him. i have been around rodeo my entire life and bull fighters are the toughest. they don't just have to deal with one bull they deal with them all.

  58. A.... V....

    Ive ridden. and man. its one hell of a rush. but those bulls will get ya. hell. look at layne frost. one of the best bullriders of all time. also my hero. he got hooked in the ribs and one went through his heart. he died in Cheyenne.
    Thank you to all the Rodeo Clowns out there who help keep us safe.
