He's packed up his boots and his saddle
Seventeen, headin' out on his own
He'll rodeo from Cheyenne to Texas
Dreamin' of one ride in Vegas
One ride in Vegas Lonely nights in rundown motel rooms
Achin' bone from yesterday's ride
It's takin' more than he thought he could give it
But he's holdin' on for one ride in Vegas
One ride in Vegas He's riskin' it all, driven by a hunger
That never will let him give up
And with a fire in his eyes, he dances with thunder
Till one day his day finally comes His heart beats fast with anticipation
And brighter lights than the kid has ever seen before
He's waited his whole life for the next eight seconds
And he'd do it all again for one ride in Vegas
This one ride in Vegas He's an old man now, four times world champion
A modern day legend and every cowboy knows his name
He's all settled down on his ranch down in Texas
But he'd trade it all today for one ride in Vegas
One more ride in Vegas
