Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

Rodeo Girl

Out on the range

The quiet, endless still

Where the wild S.S.I.

Whisper from the hills

It's a petrified forest of

Trailer parks and fords

And there ain't no goin' back

Rodeo girl, Saddle up

There's no more credit in this bank

Try your luck

Up in the east, down in the west

Hold on tight

To the pony that you love the best

There's a medicine at the gate

And a number on your back

And this world is all jacked up like a cadillac

Painted by a Rodeo Girl

Rodeo girl, rodeo girl

Count all the boxcars, the blue and white stars

That fall for you Rodeo Girl

You're lost in the desert

It's too hot to think

You gotta know about the milk truck

If you want a drink

And when the cowboy's sing to

Bobby Sands and the bear

You can wet your lips

In the cool pools of despair

Up in the east, down in the west

Hold on tight

You gotta be better than the best

There's a medicine at the gate

And a number on your back

This world is all jacked up like a cadillac

Painted by a rodeo girl

Rodeo girl

aye yei yei yei.
