When I was just a very young lad I walked up and I told my dad
A bareback rider's what I wanna 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 throw'd back
You'll ask whose that well that's Bareback Jack
You'll ask whose 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
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 I'm Bareback Jack
You'll all know me I'm Bareback Jack
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'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
Then we'll all know you as Old Crippled Up Jack
And that'll be all for ol' Bareback Jack!
The lyrics BAREBACK JACK of CHRIS LEDOUX is also present in the album The ultimate collection (2006)
Chris Ledoux è stato un cantante, cantautore e scultore americano di fama nazionale. Nato il 2 ottobre 1948 in Wyoming, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70, combinando la passione per la musica country con la sua esperienza nel rodeo. È considerato uno dei pionieri del genere "cowboy music", un sottogenere della musica country che celebra la vita e le tradizioni del West americano. Le sue canzoni spesso raccontano storie di cowboy, cavalli, rodei e paesaggi desertici, offrendo un ritratto autentico della cultura rurale americana. Oltre alla musica, Ledoux era anche un abile scultore di bronzo, realizzando opere d'arte che raffiguravano scene di vita quotidiana del West. La sua carriera musicale è stata segnata da successi come "Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy", "The Ballad of the Big Horn" e "I'm a Rodeo Clown". Chris Ledoux è morto il 9 marzo 2005 all'età di 56 anni, lasciando un'eredità musicale che continua ad ispirare artisti e appassionati di musica country.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
