He's been this way since he was seven
His mama didn't like it
He craved the smell of hay and leather
And the sound of the gate when you strike it
See Josiah John is my kid brother
My mothers other son
And he called me one day, out of the blue
Said his dream had him ready to run

Anyway, he left home, and slept in his truck
He ate what he could find
To save up enough for the next go round
Just to feel that bull unwind
He was gored real bad at Sandstone
And it took him a year to heal
But he wouldn't quit ridin those rank ol bulls
And those dusty old gates of steel

Life is like a big mean bull
But don't you let him scare you
Time's too short to sit on the bench
Waitin for them to hear you
You can't predict no bull
And you can't predict this world
So just jump on
And you HOLD ON
And give this bull a whirl

Wave your hand and man that sand
Is flyin all around you
Ramrod spine and stars that shine
Exploding in your head and dude
That bull is rank and you're in the tank
Keep your heels down - stay out of the well
Come up for air, now watch out there!
He's about to give er well

He'll twist and buck and man your truck
Is gonna feel good tonight, it's
Boots and sky, he'll hang you high
And that's your tongue- don't bite it
You might get thrown, you might get owned
You may just hit the gate
But No matter what they call you
No matter how often you fall you
Dust off your chaps and pick up your hat
And try again for eight

He's done some time, and paid some fines
And had some real bad women
He made mistakes and learned from them
But Man, he says, I'm livin

And now he's joined the PBR
Tho he hasn't made the finals yet
But I'm proud of him, for goin all in
And always givin his best

Now some of you never Cowboyed up
And maybe some of you did
And maybe you rode eight seconds
And maybe you been doin it since you were a kid

But I learned this, from Josiah
That when the lights and crowd are gone
You find out what you really love
If you still wanna climb back on
Life is like a big mean bull
But don't you let him scare you
Time's too short to sit on the bench
Waitin for them to hear you
You can't predict no bull
And you can't predict this world
So just jump on
And you HOLD ON
And give this bull a whirl

Wave your hand and man that sand
Is flyin all around you
Ramrod spine and stars that shine
Exploding in your head and dude
That bull is rank and you're in the tank
Keep your heels down - stay out of the well
Come up for air, now watch out there!
He's about to give er welllll

He'll twist and buck and man your truck
Is gonna feel good tonight, it's
Boots and sky, he'll hang you high
And that's your tongue- don't bite it
You might get thrown, you might get owned
You may just hit the gate
But No matter what they call you
No matter how often you fall you
Dust off your chaps and pick up your hat
And try again for eight
No matter what they call you
No matter how often you fall you
Dust off your chaps and pick up your hat
And try again for eight
