Upside of the Ground Lyrics by Ned LeDoux

Buckskin

2022

[Verse 1]
Well, he loved the horses and he loved to ride
The sound of the spurs, the smell of rawhide
He had zero money and a whole lotta pride
He was hopin' that would be enough
You know the first few times that a fella gets thrown
It takes a mighty strong will just to get back on
You get a mouth full of dust and you break some bones
And you notice that the goin' gets tough
[Chorus]
Yeah, welcome to the upside of the ground
It'll break your fall likе an old rag doll
And toss you all around
Well, up in the air, you bettеr be aware
You still gotta come back down
Hey, welcome to the upside of the ground
[Verse 2]
Well, he gave it what he thought was the best he had
He was thinkin' to himself it wasn't half bad
His mama was proud, but his daddy looked mad
When they came to the rodeo
He said, "Son, if you're ever gonna amount to anything
You gotta work at least as hard as you dream
Maybe you got the talent, but from what I've seen
You got a long way to go"
[Chorus]
Hey, welcome to the upside of the ground
It'll break your fall, make a big man small
And bounce you all around
Up in the air, you better be aware
You still gotta come back down
Hey, welcome to the upside of the ground
[Bridge]
Well, life is a little like a rodeo
You can clown around or you can watch the show
But if you wanna ride, friend, you need to know
Not everybody wins a prize
Well now, the moral of the story as far as I can tell
Is here on earth, between Heaven and Hell
Anything worth doin' is worth doin' well
In the morning when you open your eyes
[Chorus]
Say, welcome to the upside of the ground
It'll break your fall, this big blue ball
Will bounce you all around, 'round, 'round
Up in the airk you better be aware
You still gotta come back down
Hey, welcome to the upside of the ground
Yeah, welcome to the upside of the ground
