Lyrics Hooks & Ride - Slim Dusty

Hooks & Ride

If you want-a make a name in the rodeo game
Then you gotta get onto that high
You’ve got a screw down put your faith in the clown
Hit him with the hooks and ride
Hit him with the hooks and ride
Listen to the crowd go wild
You’re hangin' up there with spur and prayer
And it feels like dynamite
If you want-a make a name then you gotta be game
And livin' you’re life to the full
If you want-a get a buck you gotta knuckle
Down on the hide of a bull
Hit him with the hooks and ride
Listen to the crowd go wild
You’re hangin' up there with spur and prayer
And it feels like dynamite
If you want-a make a name in the rodeo game
Then you gotta get onto that high
You’ve got a screw down put your faith in the clown
Hit him with the hooks and ride.
Hey!
Hit him with the hooks and ride
Listen to the crowd wild
You’re hangin' up there with spur and prayer
And it feels like dynamite
If you want-a bring a name in the rodeo game
Then you gotta get onto that high
You’ve got a screw down put your faith in the clown
Hit him with the hooks and ride.
Hey!
When you’ve got your name on the wall of fame
And you’ve hung up your rope an' boots
When the kids ask you what you used to do
«I used to ride bulls out of rodeo shoots»
Hit him with the hooks and ride
Breakin' down the milk inside
You’ve seen Troy Dunn make it look like fun
Hit him with the hooks and ride
If you want-a make a name in the rodeo game
Then you gotta get onto that high
You’ve got a screw down put your faith in the clown
Hit him with the hooks and ride
Hit him with the hooks and ride
Hit him with the hooks and ride
