Rhinestone kid on a freeway star An '87 pickup and a red guitar Playin' like an angel with a broken wing A song of true love for his girl Darlene They haven't seen each other for a year or so Man, he misses her like we all miss that TV show Where he first performed that love song 'bout a year ago Well, if ya haven't heard it yet then this is how it goes... RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh Like the buffalos do it by the wishing well 'Cause they haven't got no money for a cheap motel RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh What sweeter thing could happen to a boy an' a girl? We gotta do it like mechanical rabbits from hell, yeah Repeat chords throughout entire song... It was the sweetest song playin' on the radio From the edge of Alabama down to Mexico It was a number one hit but Darlene didn't know Whom her fav'rite song was fo' But everytime she hears it, her heart, like a gong Would tremble for the man for whom she longs ...For whom she longs... And 'en she starts to sing along... RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh We gotta do it for a reason, gotta do it for fun We gotta sparkle like tequila in the hot...hot sun, yeah! RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh We gotta do it like Sinatra used to do "My Way" An' in the background there's that Beck dude singin' Odelay
