[Verse 1] Had my heart broke in a neon town, Lost a truck, a dog, and a couple rounds. Got scars on my boots and some on my pride, But I learned to wear 'em like a badge of time. Took the long way, didn’t always win, But I’d do it all over just to get here again. A little more grit, a little less show, You can bet now, I know what I know. --- [Pre-Chorus] Folks talk slick when they don’t understand, But I ain’t here to prove I’m a better man. --- [Chorus] This ain’t my first rodeo, Been thrown hard, hit that low. But I get back up, dust off slow, Like the wind just taught me how to roll. Life don’t scare me anymore, I’ve been through hell and found the door. You can bet your boots, I’m good to go— 'Cause this ain’t my first rodeo. --- [Verse 2] I’ve danced with trouble, flirted with fate, Made some friends that came too late. Took shots at dreams that missed by miles, But I still walk tall with a crooked smile. Ain’t afraid to bend, ain’t scared to break, I know real from the ones who fake. Got both hands firm on the wheel, And a heart that knows what’s real. --- [Pre-Chorus] I don’t flinch when the storm rolls in, ‘Cause I’ve seen worse and learned to grin. --- [Chorus] This ain’t my first rodeo, Been thrown hard, hit that low. But I get back up, dust off slow, Like the wind just taught me how to roll. Life don’t scare me anymore, I’ve been through hell and found the door. You can bet your boots, I’m good to go— 'Cause this ain’t my first rodeo. --- [Bridge] Let 'em judge, let 'em doubt, I’m still here, still standing out. Through the fire, through the show— Yeah, I ride on, 'cause I know… --- [Final Chorus] This ain’t my first rodeo, Been thrown hard, hit that low. But I get back up, let it all go, Turn pain into a song they know. Life don’t scare me anymore, I’ve been through worse and wanted more. You can bet your boots, I’m good to go— 'Cause this ain’t my first rodeo.
