This Circus That You Call A Rodeo

(álbum: From The Heart - 2001)

You pulled up in that limousine, said
Cowboy let me take you for a ride
It was obvious to me, I was something new that you had never tried
So I gathered up my saddle, took my hat off and I dusted off my clothes
And crawled in to the back seat of the circus that you call the rodeo

I spent a week in heaven making love and drinking beer right by the pool
Every night a different party, I was fitting in with all those other fools
But too much of a good thing ain't no good thing that a cowboy oughta know
The difference in the new thing at the circus that you call the rodeo

He said, ride cowboy ride, we're bullet proof and almost ten feet tall
I said, maybe you are, but I'm whipped and I can't hardly even ride at all
Ain't there any letting go, in this circus that you call the rodeo

I've done a lot of crazy things
This may not be the worst, but it comes close
I've busted bulls and they've busted me and I've paid the price for everything I rode
And it breaks my heart to tell you, but I'm leaving this old dog and pony show
I've had all that I can handle in this circus that you call the rodeo

You said, ride cowboy ride, we're bullet proof and almost ten feet tall
I said, maybe you are, but I'm whipped and I can't hardly even ride at all
Ain't there any letting go, in this circus that you call the rodeo
Ain't there any letting go, in this circus that you call the rodeo
