This Ol' Rodeo

You say you love cowboys

Or at least the ones you've seen on TV

Saddle up Shadow on the brow, boys

You're always makin' that life look so easy

And all the ways you'd have to break and bend

For you to fall in love with

In this old rodeo, you'd have to be a fool

To take a chance on a chance-taker dancin' with the bulls

Well, it's a crazy dangerous game

You can't say you ain't been warned

It ain't the roses, it's the thorns, dear

And they grow on steer's horns, yeah

In this old rodeo, in this old rodeo

You say you wanna settle down

In a big old house on a piece of land

And maybe have a kid or two

But I was born with the pedal down

And there ain't no brakes darlin'

You can't have your cake and eat it too

In this old rodeo, you'd have to be a fool

To take a chance on a chance-taker dancin' with the bulls

Well, it's a crazy dangerous game

You can't say you ain't been warned

It ain't the roses, it's the thorns, dear

And they grow on steer's horns, yeah

In this old rodeo, in this old rodeo

All the ways you'd have to break and bend

For you to fall in love with

This old rodeo, you'd have to be a fool

To take a chance on a chance-taker dancin' with the bulls

Well, it's a crazy dangerous game

You can't say you ain't been warned

It ain't the roses, it's the thorns, dear

And they grow on steer's horns, yeah

In this old rodeo, in this old rodeo

In this old rodeo, in this old rodeo
