Fourth Of July Rodeos |
Just about two hundred years ago they signed that declaration |
Tellin' everybody in the whole wide world they’re gonna start a brand new nation |
From that day on the 4th of July has been a holiday |
To the rich man poor man and everybody but the cowboys in the RCA |
Well I get on the phone and call the airlines rent-a-cars and Greyhound stations |
Cause I’ve entered bout thirteen rodeos out across the great big nation |
Got the car tuned up the tanks full of gas I’ve got money in my hand |
And if I ain’t overdrawn by the end of the week at the bank I’m a lucky man |
It’s the 4th of July on the rodeo trail and it’ll drive you insane |
My wife’s worried home by the telephone I’m on the road again |
It’s the Forth of July on the rodeo trail if I ever make it home I swear |
I’m gonna to hang up my hat put up my riggin' sack |
And for a month I’m gonna stay right there |
Well I’ve been on the road about three days now and I haven’t had a minutes rest |
There’s dark circles all around my bloodshot eyes and my face is now a |
whiskered mess |
Boy I’d sure like a bath and a home cooked mean but for now I must be satisfied |
With this double super-duper half cooked burger |
And a side of grease soaked french fries |
Well the week’s nearly over and I wonder to myself will I ever make it home |
alive |
When a bronc fell on me up in Calgary when he slipped tryin' to make his high |
dive |
And the plane and the pilot that we rented looked like surplus from World War I |
And I thought any times about suicide but I haven’t found myself a gun |
It’s the 4th of July on the rodeo trail… |
