lyrics

Same old faces on the street at night
And I barely notice them
They got lives to live like you and I
I never felt that was my problem

Same old guy outside the liquor store
Though I never asked his name
Cap in hand and always grubby clothes
Never thought about the losing game

He ain’t there no more

Living on the streets
It ain’t no picnic
Nobody ever gives a damn
About your last remaining rodeo
So ride that bronco while you can

Heard he had a broken limousine
All his wordly goods within
It got towed away by the authority
They don’t give a damn about the man

And now he’s gone

Living on the streets
It ain’t no picnic
Nobody ever gives a damn
About your last remaining rodeo
So ride that bronco while you can

Rich is pay dirt
Poor is mud
Heaven is
Too far above
Hell is like
This careless place
That turns your head
But leaves no trace..
Of bitterness or regret
No thought of ever helping
Just tut and walk away
Tomorrow is your future
His was yesterday..

And now he’s in the grave

Living on the streets
It ain’t no picnic
Nobody ever gives a damn
About your last remaining rodeo
So ride that bronco while you can

Same old faces on your street at night
Do you ever notice them
They got lives to live like you and I
Do you think that is your problem

Living on the streets
It ain’t no picnic
Nobody ever gives a damn
About your last remaining rodeo
So ride that bronco while you can

Ride that bronco lady
Ride that bronco man
Ride that bronco any way you can.
You better ride that bronco any way you can
