Now I’ve been tryin’ to lose my past
Traveling slow while living so fast
I’ve traded in them high heeled sneakers
And my blue suede shoes for these snake skin boots, yeah

No I’m not afraid of dyin’
Just open that gate and I’ll come flyin’
Don’t need no clown taking care of me
It takes a barrel just to set me free, now

I ain’t stupid, I’m not crazy
I’m just tired but don’t call me lazy

I’ve been bucked of, I’ve been lied to
I’ve been stepped on and I’ve tried to
Stay on this one man show
But I can’t get off of this rodeo now

Rodeo

I’m carrying down this heavy load
Headin' down this one way road
‘Cos baby needs things that I can’t buy
Please don’t tell me that I lost my fire

I’ve gotta do this till I’m crippled for life
Or whose gonna take care of my kids and my wife

I’ve been bucked of, I’ve been lied to
I’ve been stepped on and I’ve tried to
Stay on this one man show
But I can’t get off of this rodeo now

I’ve been bucked of, I’ve been lied to
I’ve been stepped on and I’ve tried to
Stay on this one man show
But I can’t get off of this rodeo

Rodeo, rodeo
