Rodeo Circuit
This rodeo circuit can be rough,
But a cowboy must be strong.
If he takes his eyes off the prize,
He won't stay on that long.
I drew one down in Texas,
That left me laid up for a while.
She was fast and she could buck,
But turned out not to be my style.
There was one out in Omaha,
That stomped and tore me apart.
I wanted so much to cover her,
But she was crafty and too smart.
A Spanish beauty in California,
Really took me on quite a ride.
After I managed to cover her,
I was left bleeding down inside.
Who can forget out in Tulsa;
Man that was quite a throw!
Her twist was wild and smooth,
But her buck was quite a blow.
Some I rode for pleasure,
But I never stayed on that long.
Even the ones I would cover,
Always proved to be too strong.
