"Rodeo"
[Verse 1]
Em Em
His eyes are cold and restless
A Em
His wounds have almost healed
A Em
And she'd give half of Texas
A Em
Just to change the way he feels
Em
She knows his love's in Tulsa
A
And she knows he's gonna go
Em
Well it ain't no woman flesh and blood
B
It's that damned old rodeo
[Chorus]
Em
Well it's bulls and blood
Em
It's dust and mud
A Em
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd
Em
It's the white in his knuckles
Em
The gold in the buckle
B A
He'll win the next go 'round
Em
It's boots and chaps
Em
It's cowboy hats
A Em
It's spurs and latigo
Em
It's the ropes and the reins
Em
And the joy and the pain
B Em
And they call the thing rodeo
[Verse 2]
Em
She does her best to hold him
A Em
When his love comes to call
A Em
But his need for it controls him
A Em
And her back's against the wall
Em
And it's So long girl I'll see you
A
When it's time for him to go
Em
You know the woman wants her cowboy
B Em
Like he wants his rodeo
[Chorus]
Em
Well it's bulls and blood
Em
It's dust and mud
A Em
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd
Em
It's the white in his knuckles
Em
The gold in the buckle
B A
He'll win the next go 'round
Em
It's boots and chaps
Em
It's cowboy hats
A Em
It's spurs and latigo
Em
It's the ropes and the reins
Em
And the joy and the pain
B Em
And they call the thing rodeo
[Verse 3]
Em
It'll drive a cowboy crazy
A Em
It'll drive the man insane
A Em
And he'll sell off everything he owns
A Em
Just to pay to play the game
Em Em
And a broken home and some broken bones
A///////
Is all he'll have to show
Em
For all the years that he spent chasin'
B Em
This dream they call rodeo
[Chorus]
Em
Well it's bulls and blood
Em
It's dust and mud
A Em
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd
Em
It's the white in his knuckles
Em
The gold in the buckle
B A
He'll win the next go 'round
Em
It's boots and chaps
Em
It's cowboy hats
A Em
It's spurs and latigo
Em
It's the ropes and the reins
Em
And the joy and the pain
B Em
And they call the thing rodeo
[Ending]
It's the broncs and the blood
It's the steers and the mud
And they call the thing rodeo
