The Rodeo's Gone

He was working for the summer on her neighbor’s farm Between the roping and the branding, she fell in his arms She gave in kinda easy, because he came on so strong But now the summer is over and the rodeo’s gone

And there’s nothing to do on a Saturday night And no one to hold her in the cool moonlight No promise was made so it ain’t right or wrong The summer is over and the rodeo’s gone

He loaded his horses and said he’d be back

But thirty years taught her, girl, don’t believe that He’s a rambler and a gambler and he’ll keep riding on When the summer is over and the rodeo’s gone

CHORUS

By spring she was looking for his face in the crowd And it was nearly October when he showed up in town And asked her if she ever thought about settling down

He said we’ll watch the sunset every Saturday night And I’ll keep you warm in the cool moonlight

I promise I’ll love you when the gray comes along The summer is over and the rodeo’s gone

The rodeo’s gone The rodeo’s gone
