Las Vegas, back in ‘05
A million dollars all on one ride
J.W. tied me in
Said make sure you get him ride
This is what you’ve been waiting for all these years
Just before I nodded he hollered in my ear

Whatever you do don’t let go
It’s time to be a cowboy don’t you know
If you get through this you got it whipped
But till you hear the whistle blow
Whatever you do
Don’t let go

Six months later things got a little rough at home
She had me so turned around
I thought about gettin gone
I was telling J.W. about it
Over a couple beers
He said if you lose one that good
You’ll regret this day for years

Whatever you do don’t let go
It’s time to be a cowboy don’t you know
If you get through this you got it whipped
There’ll be better days down the road
So whatever you do
Don’t let go

It’s always something
Another bull to ride
No life ain’t easy
So you better hold on tight

Whatever you do don’t let go
It’s time to be a cowboy don’t you know
If we get through this we’ve got it whipped
There’ll be better days down the road
So whatever you do
Don’t let go

Don’t let go
Yeah whatever you do don’t let go
Don’t let go
Keep on holding on and holding on and holding on
Don’t let go
