Last Friday she said to me, hey Billy Joe, did you know either me or the rodeo goes?
D C D G
so I packed up and left her in Waco and drove up to ride on the bulls in the Calgary snow
C D
saw a sign that said riders and hauled all my rigging inside
G C D
where the fellas was braggin', and drawing stock we would ride
C D
I was doin' the same till I looked at the name that I'd drawn
G
then I stood there and silently cried
C D G
oh you Calgary snow
C D G
I can't let the rodeo go
C D G Em
hurtin' more than my pride on a bull I can't ride
C D G
lays me low, in the Calgary snow
G D
well, I knew I was beat in the hat when I drew it
G
and it started me drinkin', to think of the brute
C D G
till I managed to wreck my left knee and my ankle between the damn bull and the side of the chute
C D
and I'm thinkin' out loud as I fly through the clouds to the ground
Em C D
hey Billy, maybe you aint' the most dynamite rider around
C D G Em
cause you're kickin' too late comin' out of the gate boy but you're great comin' gracefully down
Gm Cm
well, I know that I'm blown in the chute on the first go round
D G
so I give 'em my ole "what the hell" grin as I get up off the ground
Gm Cm
and right then I'm thinkin' I ain't taken to Calgary much
D G
ain't nothin' back in my room but a broom I can use for a crutch
C D G
And it's cold, lord, it's cold in the Calgary wind
C D G
when you knowin' that you gotta ride the day morning again
C D G Em
ain't no whiskey nor either nor platens nor pills
C D
gonna deaden the pain and chills
G
of the Calgary wind
C D
but what more is a broken down rodeo cowboy to do?
G C D
but stove up in Canada watchin' his bruises turn blue
C D
there's only one road gonna lead back to Waco and you
G
and it runs out of chute number two
C D G
oh you Calgary snow
C D G
I can't let that rodeo go
C D G Em
hurtin' more than my pride on a bull I can't ride
C D G
lays me low in the Calgary snow
