Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo

Not another existential cowboy And no more California champagne Not another saddle tramp, sick Sore, lonely, and out of place Cryin' in his coffee ice cream Edith cannot fix another engine Nor paint another face on a rubber can clown She takes another temp job But in her secret heart she rides She's just a sad sweetheart of the rodeo Not an urban legend now Sad sweetheart of the rodeo Give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a bad night's sleep Norman says that you should take a Valium Or maybe something stronger 'Cause he doesn't understand How you get so excited watching the lusty men The Marlboro man died of cancer And he wasn't a rocket scientist when he was healthy She took one last gulp of his soft city condescension And blasted off from his little launch pad to parts west Sad sweetheart of the rodeo Not an urban legend now Sad sweetheart of the rodeo Lonesome cowboy Bill, where are you? Sad sweetheart of the rodeo Not an urban legend now Sad sweetheart of the rodeo
