Next Rodeo

Well, this ain't my first rodeo
Been staring down the barrel since I left home
Through the highs and lows and the "hurts like hell"'s
Still reaching for the ring on the carousel

I've been down this trail a time or two
Knocked down, fenced in, but I broke through
Life ain't fair and you can't fight it
So take it by the horns and ride it

Whoa
Gotta giddy up and go
'Cause there's a cowboy just like you
Waiting at the end of every road
Oh, no
Ain't got time to do-si-do
Gotta get on to my next rodeo

Well, those two hundred towns of one-night stands
Tearing up the road with a five-piece band
Some days are diamonds, some days are rust
The towns of tomorrow are yesterday's dust

Love comes easy if it comes at all
And I've seen you on the floor of this old dance hall
You're long and tall with a steady hand
But I don't want another wanted man

Whoa
Gotta giddy up and go
'Cause there's a cowboy just like you
Waiting at the end of every road
Oh, no
I ain't got time to do-si-do
Gotta get on to my next rodeo, whoa-oh
Get on to my next rodeo

Whoa, next rodeo
It's the only life I know, so here we go again

Now I'm back in the saddle with this old guitar
Gonna hitch my wagon to a shooting star
Say, "So long, it's been good to know ya
I'll see you at the next rodeo," yeah

Whoa
Gotta giddy up and go
'Cause there's a cowboy just like you
Waiting at the end of every road
Oh, no
We ain't got time to do-si-do
Gotta get on to my next rodeo, whoa-oh

Whoa
Gotta giddy up and go
It takes a cowgirl just like me
Leave 'em in the dust at the end of the road
Oh, no
I ain't got time to do-si-do
Gotta get on to my next rodeo, whoa-oh
Get on to my next rodeo-ooh
