This Circus That You Call A Rodeo

You pulled up in that limousine, said

Cowboy let me take you for a ride

It was obvious to me, I was something new that you had never tried

So I gathered up my saddle, took my hat off and I dusted off my clothes

And crawled in to the back seat of the circus that you call the rodeo

I spent a week in heaven making love and drinking beer right by the pool

Every night a different party, I was fittin' in with all those other fools

But too much of a good thing ain't no good thing that a cowboy oughta know

The difference in the new thing at the circus that you call the rodeo

He said, ride cowboy ride, we're bullet proof and almost ten feet tall

I said, maybe you are, but I'm whipped and I can't hardly even ride at all

Ain't there any lettin' go, in this circus that you call the rodeo

I've done a lot of crazy things

This may not be the worst, but it comes close

I've busted bulls and they've busted me and I've paid the price for everything I rode

And it breaks my heart to tell you, but I'm leavin' this old dog and pony show

I've had all that I can handle in this circus that you call the rodeo

You said, ride cowboy ride, we're bullet proof and almost ten feet tall

I said, maybe you are, but I'm whipped and I can't hardly even ride at all

Ain't there any lettin' go, in this circus that you call the rodeo

Ain't there any lettin' go, in this circus that you call the rodeo
