Angola Rodeo
(专辑: Sing In A World That's Falling Apart - 2020)
Twenty-five to life deep in the
swamps of the
LSP There's no way out, but you can have a
chance to feel free Old Burl Cain's been known to put on a
show I'm gonna take my chance at the
Angola rodeo So while I
do my time I'm gonna whoop me some bovines And be a
king for a
day, if it's only for a
little while I'll be an all-'round cowboy roping like Cadillac Jack Ride a
mustang 'round the
ring, no saddle, it's called bareback So when they open up that chute, I'll take the
chit right off that brute I'll have my commissary stocked with all my rodeo loot Well, I
found myself staring down the
nose of a
Brahma bull I
got weak in my knees and the
sweat started to pool But he stopped, it seemed, just chasing me around the
ring I
shot up that wall just searching for somewhere to cling I
saw blood dripping down his horn, I
knew then that I'd been gored Hell, anything's better than sitting in a
cell being bored I
spent sixteen weeks just healing in infirmary Compared to Camp J
that was quite a
luxury "So, doctor, please, get me some morphine And go easy on me, buddy, 'cause those beasts can't conquer me" You know I'll be here next year, I
got nothing left to fear And when you're in that cell you can shed a
couple of tears
