lyrics

RODEO

Well, I used to be a cowboy
Well not quite a cowboy
I lived in Kansas City
back in 1892
And I wore me a six-gun
but I never got to use it
'cept for shootin' down bottles
back of Murphy's saloon

And I can't wait
for the rodeo to call
for the rodeo to call my name
One sweet ride
and the skies are gonna clear
and it's never gonna be the same
Oh, sunshine
you been on my mind

Once I had a partner
this old palomino
blind in one eye
but ever so true
And the day that she left me
I just stood on the corner
sayin' sweet nothins
with nothin' to do

And I can't wait
for the rodeo to call
for the rodeo to call my name
And I can't wait
til the skies are gonna clear
and it's never gonna be the same
Oh, sunshine
you been on my mind
wondering' what you'll see
come the day
you shine my way
hi di ho
in my rodeo

Now I pass a lotta paper
and some of it's money
and some of it's just wishes
for a little more time
cuz good days are comin'
anyone'll tell you
hard as it gets
it'll turn on a dime
It'll turn on a dime

And I can't wait
for the rodeo to call
for the rodeo to call my name
One sweet ride
and the skies are gonna clear
and it's never gonna be the same
Oh, sunshine
you been on my mind
wondering' who you'll see
come the day
you shine my way
hi di ho
in my rodeo
in my rodeo
in my rodeo
in my rodeo
