E
His Eyes are cold and restless
E
His wounds have almost healed
A E
And she’d give half of Texas
A E
Just to change the way he feels
She knows his love’s in Tulsa
A
And she knows he’s gonna go
E
Well, it ain’t no woman, flesh and blood
B7
It’s that damned old rodeo
- - -
E
Well, it’s bulls and blood
It’s dust and mud
A E
It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd
It’s the white in his knuckles
The gold in his buckle
B7
He’ll win the next go round
E
It’s boots and chaps
It’s cowboy hats
A E
It’s spurs and latigo
It’s the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
B7
And they call the thing rodeo
E, G, A, E, G, A

E
She does her best to hold him
A E
When his loves comes to call
A E
But his need for it controls him
A E
And her back’s against the wall
And it’s “so long girl, I’ll see you”:
A
When it’s time for him to go
E
You know the woman wants her cowboy
B7
Like he wants his rodeo
- - -
E
Well, it’s bulls and blood
It’s dust and mud

It’ll drive a cowboy crazy
A E
It’ll drive a man insane
A E
And he’ll sell off everything he owns
A E
Just to pay to play her game
And a broken home and some broken bones
A
Is all he’ll have to show
E
For all the years that he spent chasin’
B7
This dream they call rodeo
