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
