Rhinestone kid on a freeway star 

An '87 pick-up an' a red guitar 

Playin' like an angel with a broken grin 

A song o true love fo' his girl Darlene 



They haven't seen each other for a year or so 

Man, he misses her like we all miss that TV show 

Where he first performed that love song ‘bout a year ago 

Well, if ya haven't heard it yet then this is how it goes… 



RODEO-uh-oh-oh-oh 

Like the buffalos do it by the wishing well 

‘Cause they ain't got time no money for a cheap motel, yeah 

RODEO-uh-oh-oh-oh 

Tell me what sweeter thing could happen to a boy an' a girl? 

We gotta do it like mechanical wabbits from hell, yeah 



It was the sweetest song playin' on the raid-eeh-oh 

From the edge of Alabama down to Me-hee-ko 

It was a number one hit but Darlene didn't know 

Whom her fav'rite song was fo 

But everytime she hears it, her heart, like a gong, 

Would tremble for the man for whom she longs 

…for whom she longs…. 

And ‘en she starts to sing along… 



RODEO-uh-oh-oh-oh 

We gotta do it for a reason, gotta do it for fun 

We gotta sparkle like tequila in the hot…hot sun, yeah! 

RODEO-uh-oh-oh-oh 

We gotta do it like Sinatra used to do “My Way” 

An' in the background there's that Beck dude singin' Odelay
