I rode off into the sunset 
The way cowboys always do
But ten miles west of Fort Worth 
My thoughts ran back to you
I could feel you there beside me 
Taste your tender lips on mine
You know there'll always be another bronc 
But true love is hard to find

Last night I found a soft place to fall 
Loving arms to ease me down
To a big old feather bed 
Instead a cold hard ground
I still love the rodeo 
But with you I can have at all
'Cause last night I found 
A soft place to fall

I've run wilder than the horses 
That I set out to ride
My freedom was the one thing 
That I fought for all my life
But something in your gentle touch 
Took the fight right out of me
I thought love was meant to tie me down 
But I've never felt so free

Last night I found a soft place to fall 
Loving arms to ease me down
To a big old feather bed 
Instead a cold hard ground
I still love the rodeo 
But with you I can have at all
'Cause last night I found 
A soft place to fall
'Cause last night I found 
A soft place to fall
