WHEN I WAS JUST
A VERY YOUNG LAD
I WALKED UP
AND I TOLD MY DAD
A BAREBACK RIDER'S
WHAT I WANT TO BE
I WANT THE WHOLE
WORLD
TO KNOW ABOUT ME
IN THE RODEO ARENA
I'LL TAKE MY STAND
I WANT TO BE KNOWN
AS A RODEO MAN
I'LL COME FLYIN'
FROM THE CHUTE
WITH MY SPURS UP HIGH
CHAPS AND BOOTS
REACHIN' FOR THE SKY
SPURRIN' WILD
WITH MY HEAD
THROWED BACK
YOU'LL ASK WHO'S THAT
WELL THAT'S
BAREBACK JACK
YOU'LL ASK WHO'S THAT
THAT'S OLD
BAREBACK JACK
4 BAR
BREAK
THE YEARS OF BOYHOOD
NOW HAVE PASSED
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG
TO LEARN THE TRICKS
REAL FAST
NOW I'M GOIN'
DOWN THE ROAD
WITH MY RODEO GEAR
AND I HOPE TO MAKE
THE FINALS
IN JUST A FEW YEARS
WHEN MY CHANCE
COMES
I'LL GIVE IT A WHIRL
TRY TO WIN
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
OF THE WORLD
I'LL COME FLYIN'
FROM THE CHUTE
WITH MY SPURS UP HIGH
CHAPS AND BOOTS
REACHIN' FOR THE SKY
SPURRIN' WILD
WITH MY HEAD
THROWED BACK
YOU'LL ALL KNOW ME
MY NAME'S
BAREBACK JACK
YOU'LL ALL KNOW ME
MY NAME'S
BAREBACK
JACK
4 BAR
BREAK
WELL HERE I AM
I'M 'A LAYIN' IN BED
THE SON OF A BUCK
JUMPED ONTO MY HEAD
I'M 'A LAYIN' HERE DYIN'
AND 'A HURTIN'
REAL BAD
NOW I WISH
I'D LISTENED
TO MY OLD DAD
WHEN HE SAID SON
YOU BETTER QUIT
FOOLIN' AROUND
YOU'RE GONNA GET
YOUR GUTS STOMPED
INTO THE GROUND
YOU'LL COME FLYIN'
FROM THE CHUTE
WITH YOUR TAIL UP HIGH
THAT OLD BUCKIN' HORSE
IS GONNA THROW YOU
IN THE SKY
WHEN YOU COME DOWN
YOU'RE GONNA BREAK
YOUR BACK
THEN WE'LL ALL
KNOW YOU AS
OLD CRIPPLED UP JACK
AND THAT'LL BE ALL
FOR OL' BAREBACK JACK
