Ride 'em Cowboy, by David Allan Coe
Travelin' with the rodeo
That's the only life I've ever known
It started in new mexico
Must've been a hundred years ago
I used to be the best they say
Ridin' young wild horses for my pay
Now I'm much too old it seems
I only ride wild horses in my dreams
(chorus)
They used to tell me, ride em' cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You can't make no money, if you hit the ground
They just said, ride 'em cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You're the toughest cowboy in town
(bridge)
I've always been the rhinestone cowboy
I don't care what glen campbell has to say
What am I supposed to do
Midnight was a champion
He's the only bronc I could not ride
Now they tell me midnight's blind
He only rides the children for a dime
Ladies used to hang around
I must've been a hero in their eyes
My silver spurs are rusty now
Lord I wish I tried to settle down
(chorus)

The second answer is correct...this song was written by Roy Rogers with The Sons Of The Pioneers, later covered by David Allen Coe.

Traveling with the rodeo it's the only life he'll ever know.
Started in New Mexico it must have been a thousand years ago.
He used to be the best they say at riding young wild horses for his pay
But now he's much too old it seems he only rides wild horses in his dreams.
Chorus:
They told him ride 'em cowboy don't let 'em throw you down.
You can't make no money if you hit the ground.
Anyhow, Ride 'em cowboy don't let 'em throw you down.
Your the toughest cowboy in town.
Midnight was the champion, was the only bronc that he couldn't ride.
Now I hear Old Midnights blind and rides little children for a dime.
Ladies used to hang around he must have been a hero in their eyes.
Silver spurs are rusted now Lord, he wished he tried to settle down.
Chorus
Bridge:
He used to be a traveling cowboy
But now there's no place left to go.
What is he supposed to do
He's left out in the cold.
Chorus
Traveling with the rodeo it's the only life he'll ever know.

I used to own a CD by Juice Newton that had that song on it. I don't know if she was covering another artist or who wrote it. On that CD it was called Ride Em' Cowboy. If you google Juice Newton you can probably find more info about the song.
