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 wanna 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?"

Well, that's Bareback Jack

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

And when my chance comes, I'll give it a whirl

And try to win the championship of the world

I'll come flyin' from the chutes with my spurs up high

Chaps and boots reachin' for the sky

Spurrin' a wild with my head flung back

You'll all know me

My name's Bareback Jack

You'll all know me

My name's Bareback Jack

Well, here I am, I'm layin' in bed

The son of a buck jumped onto my head

I'm layin' here dyin' and hurtin' real bad

Now I wish I'd listened to my old dad

When he said, "Son, you'd better stop 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 ya in the sky

When you come down, you're gonna break your back

And then we'll all know you as old crippled up Jack

In a wheelchair with a broken back"
