Angola Rodeo

Twenty-five to life deep in the swamps of the LSP

There's no way out but you can have a chance to feel free

Old Burl Cain's been known to put on a show

I'm gonna take my chance at the Angola rodeo

So while I do my time

I'm gonna whoop me some bovines

And be a king for a day

If it's only for a little while

I'll be an all-round cowboy ropin' like Cadillac Jack

Ride a mustang round the ring, no saddle, it's called bareback

And when they open up that chute

I'll take the chit right off that brute

I'll have my commissary stocked

With all my rodeo Loot

Well, I found myself starin' down the nose of a Brahma bull

I got weak in my knees and the sweat started to pool

[?] chasin' me around the ring

I shot up that wall just searchin' for somewhere to cling

I saw blood drippin' down his horn

I knew then that I'd been gored

Hell, anything's better than

Sittin' in a cell bein' bored

I spent sixteen weeks just healin' in infirmary

Compared to Camp J that was quite a luxury

Said, "Doctor please, give me some morphine,

And go easy on me, buddy, 'cause those beasts can't conquer me"

You know I'll be here next year

I got nothin' left to fear

And when you're [?] time

You can shed a couple of tears
