Watching him on the back of the shoes
A little bit of fear in her heart
A little bit in his heart too
And his love for the danger,
a mother don't understand
He just laughs with all his buddies,
she loves them all the same
They'll never know she's prayin'
every time they play the game
And whether she's driving him
she'll always carry the load.
That's the heart of a mother
with a son on the rodeo road.
She can still see him swinging that rope
long before he could even talk.
She knew he'd be a cowboy,
a chip off of the old block
And when he nods his head tonight,
she says his name out loud
The mother of a boy chasing his dream,
you know that makes her proud
And she laughs with all his buddies,
she loves them all the same
They'll never know she's prayin'
every time they play the game
Whether she's drivin' them or
She'll always carry the load
that's the heart of a mother
with a son on the rodeo road
I'm alright hit the road with all your
She loves you all the same
Every time you play the game
Whether you're ridin' here
She'll always carry the load
That's the heart of a mother
With a son on the rodeo road
with a kid on the rodeo road.
