Well, my car broke down it's in the ditch
Wish I was the son of someone rich
I'd throw hundred dollar bills out on the road
And I'd catch me a ride to the rodeo

There's a mule deer laying by the road ahead
He ain't sleeping he's damn sure dead
Venison frying in the blazing sun
Hey, I need a ride, come on someone

Yeah, my car broke down I ain't got no money
Stuck out on the road
Hey, I need a ride now, won't somebody 
Take me to the rodeo?

There's a buzzard circling up in the sky
And he's looking at me with them beady eyes
Well, I don't know but I have a hunch
He'd rather have me than that deer for lunch

Right now I wished I'd stayed in school
But I had to be a rodeo cowboy fool
And I'll bet my daddy'd sure be proud
If he could take a look at his son right now

Yeah, my car broke down, I ain't got no money
Stuck out on the road
Hey, I need a ride now, won't somebody
Take me to the rodeo?

Here comes a blondie in a Cadillac
She's got the top rolled down and her hair tied back
She don't look, she don't even slow down
She just keeps them wheels a-rolling around

Yeah, my car broke down I ain't got no money
Stuck out on the road
Hey, I need a ride now, won't somebody
Take me to the rodeo?

I need a ride
Come on
