Rodeo Queen

We pull into town, try to find the fairgrounds

Park this Cadillac out back behind the loading shoots

Finally made the big show, traveling with the rodeo

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

Life ain't easy for a joker like me

I 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 rough stock

Gotta get my stuff together, take a shot and forget how much

Time stands still when the bulls starts spinning

When the bull starts spinning, when the bull starts spinning

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

And maybe by Telluride

I might work up the nerve to tell her I

Ain't just some fool in a barrel, no

There's a real heart beating underneath my

Oversized wranglers, yellow suspenders

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

No, no

I gotta tell her, gotta tell her, gotta tell her that

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

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
