Rodeo Queen

We pull into town

Try to find the fairgrounds

Park this Cadillac out back

Behind the loading chutes

Finally made the big show

Traveling with the rodeo

I'm one of the boys that make sure nobody pays with their

Life ain't easy for a joker like me

I've got a smile painted on my face

It's only make believe

She's got me where she wants me

Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate

I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt

'Cause I'm not thinking straight

I'm in love with the rodeo queen

A clown in love with the rodeo queen

Every night the crowd goes wild when they see her ridin'

Shining like a diamond, she don't even know my name

I try to turn my feelings off before they load the roughstock

Gotta get my stuff together, take a shot and forget

How much time stands still when the bull starts spinning

When the bull starts spinning

When the bull starts spinning

She's got me where she wants me

Got me blinking when they call for the gate

I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt

'Cause I'm not thinking straight

I'm in love with the rodeo queen

And baby bye, tell you right

I might work up the nerve to tell 'er right

Ain't just some fool in a barrel, naw

There's a real heart beating underneath my

Over-sized wranglers, yellow suspenders

I might look like it but I ain't a pretender

Naw, naw

I gotta tell 'er, gotta tell 'er

Gotta tell 'er that

She's got me where she wants me

Got me blinking when they call for the gate

I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt

'Cause I'm not thinking straight

She's got me where she wants me

Got me blinking when they call for the gate

I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
