Rodeo

Intro - His eyes are cold and restless and his wounds have almost healed. And she'd give half of Texas just to change the way he feels. She knows his love's in Tulsa and she know's he's gonna go. Well it ain't no woman, flesh and blood, it's that damned old rodeo. Chorus: Well it's bulls and blood, it's the dust and mud ) it's the roar of a sunday crowd. It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle he'll win the next go 'round. It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats, it's spurs and a latigo. It's the ropes and the reins and the joy and the pain, and they call the thing rodeo. VERSE 2: She does her best to hold him When his love comes to call. But his need for it controls him And her back's against the wall. And it's "So long, girl, I'll see you." When it's time for him to go. You know the woman wants her cowboy Like he wants his rodeo. (To Chorus:) VERSE 3: It'll drive a cowboy crazy, It'll drive a man insane. And he'll sell off everything he owns Just to pay to play the game. And a broken home and some broken bones Is all he'll have to show For all the years that he spent chasin' This dream they call rodeo. (To Chorus:) It's the broncs and the blood, It's the steers and the mud, And they call the thing rodeo.
