Rodeo

I was wanted in six counties

I had to disappear

That’s the reason I left Texas

That’s how I wound up here

In the Sacramento Mountains

Of Southern New Mexico

I used to love a cowgirl

But that was a long time ago

That was a long time ago

Out there in those tall pine trees

She would saddle up a horse for me

She said, “Loosen up on those reins, boy

Let me show you how it’s s’posed to be

Let me show you how it’s s’posed to be”

Ride ‘em cowboy

Take it easy, baby, take it slow

Life ain’t a race, no

It’s more like a rodeo

Come on cowgirl

I think it’s time to go

Life ain’t a race, no

It’s more like a rodeo

It’s more like a rodeo

I said, “Be my virgin mother,

I’ll be your sacrificial lamb”

In those Sacramento Mountains

That’s where I became a man

She could swing a hammer

She could cuss and spit

She’d been shot through both of her legs

She’d been rattlesnake bit

She was hotter than a pistol, yes y’all

She was tough as nails

She was sweet as sugar mama

She had the whole world by the tail

Had the whole world by the tail

Ride ‘em cowboy

Take it easy, baby, take it slow

Life ain’t a race, no

It’s more like a rodeo

Come on cowgirl

I think it’s time to go

Life ain’t a race, no

It’s more like a rodeo

It’s more like a rodeo

I headed on back to Texas

I had to serve a little time

I knew I’d see my cowgirl

A little farther down the line

I had different woman with me

Every time I came

She said “some things stay the same,

Something’s gonna have to change

If you was looking for a woman

Well you already found you one

I don’t know where you’re going

But you’re gonna miss me when you’re gone,

You’re gonna miss me when you’re gone”

Ride ‘em cowboy

Take it easy, baby, take it slow

Life ain’t a race, no

It’s more like a rodeo

Come on cowgirl

I think it’s time to go

Life ain’t a race, no

It’s more like a rodeo

But this ain’t my first, no (ain’t my first, no)

Ain’t my first, no (ain’t my first, no)

Ain’t my first, no (ain’t my first, no), rodeo

Ain’t my first, no (ain’t my first, no)

Ain’t my first, no (ain’t my first, no)

Ain’t my first, no (ain’t my first, no), rodeo

Ain’t my first rodeo
