Rickie Lee Jones - Rodeo girl lyrics

rate me

Out on the range

The quiet, endless still

Where the wild S.S.I

Whispers from these hills

It's a petrified forest

Trailer parks and fords

And there ain't no goin' back

Rodeo girl

Saddle up

There's no more credit in this bank

Try your luck

Up in the East

Down in the West

Hold on tight

To the pony that you love the best

There's a medicine at the gate

And a number on your back

And this world is all jacked up like a cadillac

Painted by a rodeo girl

There's a medicine at the gate

And a number on your back

And this world is all jacked up like a cadillac

Painted by a rodeo girl

Rodeo girl, rodeo girl

Count all the boxcars

The blue and white stars

That fall for ya rodeo girl

You're lost in the desert

And it's too hot to think

You gotta know about the milk truck

If you want a drink

And when the cowboy's sing

Bobby sands and the bear

You can wet your lips

In the cool pools of despair

Up in the East

Down in the West

Hold on tight

Now you gotta be better than the best

There's a medicine at the gate

And a number on your back

This world is all jacked up like a cadillac

Painted by a rodeo girl

There's a medicine at the gate

And a number on your back

This world is all jacked up like a cadillac

Painted by a rodeo girl

Rodeo girl
