(Reba McEntire)
2
My daddy is a rancher
3
He's wrangled cattle dang near all his life
4
He also liked to rodeo
5
He traveled around with four kids and a wife
6
Well his old ranch is rocky
7
But his ropes sail smooth for several years
8
He worked real hard
9
And roped real good
10
And tried to get his ranch out in the clear
11
He didn't want us kids to rodeo
12
He wanted more out of life for us
13
Maybe banking, or a lawyer
14
Or maybe even driving some old bus
15
Well that's when we took up singing
16
And his pride grew greater day by day
17
And I know his eyes grew misty
18
The night I sang up on the Opry stage
19
Chorus:
20
Now his ranch is so much bigger
21
The the days when he first started
22
The grass grows now where none used to be
23
His roping got him started
24
Cattle prices made it better
25
And he's trying to get his ranch out in the clear
26
Five years ago September, he bought more steers and hung up all his
27
ropes
28
But he often tells the stories about the rodeos he won and cowboy jokes
29
Well it's funny that the first big roping that he won some thirty years
30
ago
31
Was the same day that I sang on the stage of the Grand Old Opry show
32
Repeat Chorus
33
Now he's feeding cattle
34
Toting hay
35
And branding the Y.O.
36
And his hired hand's there to help him
37
And she also cooks their meals when they get home
38
They built their ranch together
39
And listening to the kids sing through the years
40
Well they worked real hard and roped real good and now they got their
41
ranch
42
out in the clear
43
Because when a family works together
44
They finally get their ranch out in the clear
45
Out in the clear
