Aaron Watson - Rodeo Queen lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

We pull into town, tryna find the fair grounds

Parked this Cadillac out back behind the loading shoots

Finally made the big show, drivin' 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-belief

(Chorus)

(She's) Got me where she wants me

Got me blinkin' when they call for the gates

(I'm) afraid someone's gonna get hurt cuz I'm not thinkin' straight

I'm in love with the Rodeo Queen

A clown in love with the Rodeo Queen

(Verse 2)

Every night the crowd goes wild when they see her ridin'

Shinin' like a diamond, she don't even know my name

I try to turn my feelings off before they know the rough start

Gotta get my stuff together, take a shot and forget

How much time stands still when the bull starts spinning

When the bull starts spinning, when the bull starts spinning

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

And every bye tell you right, I might work up the nerve to tell her

I ain't just some fool in a barrel, there's a real heart beating underneath

My oversized wranglers, yellow soul(?!) splendors

I might be glucking but I ain't a pretender

I gotta tell it, gotta tell it, gotta tell the facts

(Chorus)
