Kingdom of Dust

I'm from the Hi Lo country of New Mexico Rode horses by the time I was three Learned to stop 'em with just a whoa In younger days rode the rodeo marquee And Got pretty good at an eight second ride But dust always won at the end I'd Pick myself up and recover my pride Soon learned dust doesn't bend, now I'm just a cowboy riding the kingdom of dust Work dawn to dusk for my pay Me and my horse have learned to adjust Dealin' with what comes our way Riding in the kingdom of dust I've a hankering to see just what's over the next hill Follow any trail just to see what's ahead Usually more dust but I follow my freewill Under the stars I make my bed Some nights things well they move kind of slow I just can't wait for the dawn Get on my horse give that next hill a go Sing another cowboy song I'm just a cowboy riding the kingdom of dust Work dawn to dusk for my pay Me and my horse have learned to adjust Dealin' with what comes our way Riding in the kingdom of dust Cowboy for all seasons, Shoeing horses, brandin' cattle All dusty work and done for survival My life has followed many courses and trails But I'm living free, and freedom never fails, this Cowboy riding the kingdom of dust Work dawn to dusk for my pay Me and my horse have learned to adjust Dealin' with what comes our way Riding in the kingdom of dust Just a cowboy riding the kingdom of dust Work dawn to dusk for my pay Me and my horse have learned to adjust Dealin' with what comes our way Riding in the kingdom of dust Riding in the kingdom of dust Riding in the kingdom of dust
